Water generously during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, keeping the soil barely moist.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as this plant dislikes constantly wet conditions.

Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged stems. This vigorous climber benefits from annual pruning to manage its size and encourage flowering.

Pinch back young shoots to promote bushier growth.

Propagate primarily by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Root cuttings in moist, well-draining potting mix. Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring, but germination can be erratic.

Grafting is also a successful method for this species.

Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining, slightly acidic potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging the roots.

Water thoroughly after repotting.
