Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in fall and winter. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Overwatering is more detrimental than occasional underwatering for this species.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and encourage airflow.

Light pruning can be done after flowering to manage size and shape, but avoid heavy pruning as it can reduce flowering.

Propagate by softwood cuttings taken in late spring or semi-hardwood cuttings in mid-summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining medium.

Alternatively, sow seeds in autumn or spring, though germination can be erratic and may require stratification.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring, or when root-bound. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 3-4 years. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid excess moisture retention.
