Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. In hot, dry weather, frequent watering is essential to maintain soil moisture.

Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and encourage robust flowering.

You can also prune after flowering to manage size and promote bushier growth.

Easily propagated from softwood cuttings taken in spring or semi-hardwood cuttings in summer. Root cuttings in moist, well-draining potting mix. Alternatively, sow seeds in spring after a period of cold stratification.

Division of suckers is also effective.

Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years. Choose a pot one size larger with good drainage. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting provides fresh nutrients and prevents the plant from becoming root-bound.
