Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top centimeter of soil begins to feel dry. Avoid letting the plant dry out completely, as this can stress it.

Reduce watering slightly in cooler months to prevent root rot.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Trim back leggy stems to just above a leaf node. Deadhead spent flowers to promote further blooming and prevent self-seeding.

Pruning is best done in spring after new growth appears.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 5-10 cm cuttings from healthy stems in spring or summer. Remove lower leaves and insert the cut end into moist potting mix or water. Roots will form within a few weeks.

Plant rooted cuttings into their own pots.

Repot young plants annually in spring to provide fresh nutrients and space for root growth. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when they become root-bound.

Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
