Water
Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Lightly prune to control size and density.
Avoid heavy pruning in late summer, as it can remove next year's flower buds.
Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Root cuttings in a moist, well-draining medium. Alternatively, propagate by layering in early spring. Successful propagation requires patience and consistent moisture.
Repot established plants every 2-3 years in spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one. Water thoroughly after repotting.
