Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months, but avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months, but avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Heavy pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to encourage flowering.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining, acidic potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring before new growth appears.
