Water regularly, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings for optimal health.

Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.

Prune immediately after flowering in late spring or early summer to maintain shape and encourage bushiness. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime to shape the plant.

Heavy pruning can be done in late winter.

Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or hardwood cuttings taken in autumn. Root cuttings in a well-draining medium in a propagator or covered frame.

Alternatively, sow seeds in autumn or spring, though this is a slower method.

Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a loam-based compost with added grit.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
