Water regularly, especially during dry periods and establishment. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter.

Deep watering is more beneficial than frequent shallow watering to encourage strong root development.

Prune to shape the plant, remove dead or crossing branches, and improve air circulation. The best time to prune is immediately after flowering in late winter or early spring.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce flowering in the following season.

Propagation is typically done by grafting or from seed. Seeds require a period of cold stratification. Grafting is usually performed in late winter onto suitable rootstock.

Cuttings can be difficult to root but may be attempted from semi-hardwood in summer.

Repotting is generally only necessary for container-grown plants, and usually infrequently. If the plant becomes root-bound, repot in early spring before new growth begins.

Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the new container is only slightly larger than the old one.
