Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, as the plant is less active.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Overwatering is more detrimental than underwatering.

Prune in spring to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Pinching back the tips of young stems can promote a more compact and full appearance.

Regular pruning helps maintain its desired form.

Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Use a well-draining potting mix and keep the cuttings moist and warm until they root. Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring under glass.

Rooted cuttings will establish faster.

Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger with fresh, well-draining potting compost.

Ensure the new pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation around the roots.
