Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells. Water deeply at the base of the plant, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.

Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases.

Prune immediately after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done to maintain size and encourage bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce flowering in subsequent years.

Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid-summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and insert into a well-draining, moist medium. Keep humid and warm until roots form, typically within 6-8 weeks.

Seed propagation is also possible but can be slow.

Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining, acidic potting mix. Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in early spring before new growth begins.

Water thoroughly after repotting.
