Water regularly during the growing season, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.

Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pinch back young shoots to encourage bushier growth.

Flowers are borne on old wood, so avoid heavy pruning after flowering.

Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or by seed sown in spring. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium.

Seeds require stratification and can be slow to germinate.

Repot young plants annually in spring, while mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.

Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
