Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Reduce watering in autumn and winter. Check the top 2-3 cm of soil; if dry, it's time to water.
Prune in late spring or early summer to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems. Light trimming can be done throughout the season to encourage flowering.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Root cuttings in moist, well-draining potting mix in a warm location. Alternatively, sow seeds in spring.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years as needed. Use a good quality, well-draining potting compost. Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
