Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch, typically in spring and summer. Reduce watering significantly during autumn and winter dormancy to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, as this plant is drought-tolerant once established.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems.
Harder pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins to rejuvenate older plants and stimulate vigorous new shoots.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or from seed sown in autumn or early spring. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium.
Seeds require stratification or a period of cold treatment for germination.
Repot young plants annually in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound.
Use a gritty, well-draining compost mix, such as one containing loam, sand, and perlite.
