Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months.

Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot, especially in containers.

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Pinch back young plants to promote bushier growth.

Light pruning can be done in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or leggy stems.

Propagate from seed sown indoors in late winter or early spring. Seeds require light to germinate and should be kept moist.

Cuttings can also be taken in summer, inserted into moist, well-draining compost, and kept in a warm, humid environment.

Repot annually or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.

Ensure containers have drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
