Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming bone dry.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in cooler conditions.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or straggly stems at this time. Hard pruning is generally not recommended and can be detrimental.

Aim for a tidy appearance rather than significant size reduction.

Best propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Insert cuttings into a well-draining compost mix and keep them in a propagator or covered to maintain high humidity until rooted.

Alternatively, sow seeds in spring under glass.

Repot container-grown plants in spring every 2-3 years when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining, gritty compost mix, such as a sandy loam or cactus compost.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
