Water thoroughly when the potting mix is completely dry, typically once every 1-2 weeks during the growing season.

Reduce watering significantly in winter, allowing the soil to dry out between occasional waterings to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to shape the plant, remove dead or diseased branches, and encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp tools.

Pruning can also be done after flowering to maintain size and shape, and to stimulate further blooms.

Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Allow cuttings to callus for a few days before planting in well-draining soil. Rooting can also be achieved from seed, which requires warm conditions and patience.

Grafting is another common method for this species.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, ideally in spring. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.

Gently loosen any circling roots before repotting.
