Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in autumn and winter, especially if grown in cooler conditions.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Overwatering is a common issue.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. To encourage bushier growth and more flowers, tip-prune young plants.

Mature plants can be pruned to maintain shape and size, or to rejuvenate old wood.

Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or autumn. Insert cuttings into a well-draining potting mix and keep them moist and in a warm, bright location, out of direct sunlight.

Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.

Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when they become root-bound. Use a good quality, well-draining potting compost.

Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one to allow for root expansion. Water thoroughly after repotting.
