Water regularly during the growing season, especially in drier periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Reduce watering in autumn and winter, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.

Prune after flowering to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This also helps maintain the plant's shape and encourages new growth. Minimal pruning is usually needed, as its natural form is attractive.

Avoid pruning in late summer or autumn.

Best propagated from semi-ripe cuttings taken in summer. Insert cuttings into a moist, well-draining compost and keep them in a warm, humid environment, such as a propagator. Rooting can take several weeks.

Alternatively, sow seeds in autumn or spring.

Young plants benefit from repotting every 1-2 years in spring. Mature specimens can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 3-5 years. Use a free-draining, slightly acidic compost.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.
