Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to keep the roots from desiccating.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Pruning is generally minimal. Lightly trim to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged stems after flowering. Pinching back young plants can encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

Propagation is best done by sowing seeds in spring or autumn. Seeds may benefit from a period of cold stratification.

Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer, but are generally less successful than seed propagation.

Repot only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Spring is the ideal time for repotting. Handle the roots gently to minimize disturbance.
