Water consistently during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming completely parched.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in poorly draining soil.

Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done after flowering to encourage a tidier appearance. Pinching back young shoots can promote bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it may reduce flowering.

Propagate from seed in spring, sowing directly into well-draining soil. Germination may be erratic.

Cuttings can also be taken from softwood in late spring or semi-hardwood in mid-summer, rooted in a moist, well-draining medium.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring before new growth begins. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, typically when root-bound.

Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
