Water
Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming completely dry.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming completely dry.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth, typically after flowering. Remove any dead or damaged stems at any time. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can stress the plant.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium, keeping the cuttings moist and warm in a propagator.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid over-watering issues.
