Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during drier periods. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when the plant's growth slows down.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Prune after flowering to shape the tree and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This encourages bushier growth and maintains a desirable form. Light pruning can be done anytime to control size.

For a more natural look, minimal intervention is best, focusing on health.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, keeping them moist and in a warm, humid environment.

Alternatively, sow seeds in spring, but this method may result in slower growth and less predictable flower color.

Repot young plants annually or bi-annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a good quality, well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive moisture retention and encourage healthy root development.
