Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back young stems to promote branching. Remove dead or faded flowers and foliage to keep the plant tidy and healthy.
Pruning can be done anytime, but is most effective in spring.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment until roots form, which usually takes several weeks.
Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring before new growth begins.
