Water consistently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is less active.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Prune after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to promote further flowering.

Light pruning can be done in spring to remove any winter damage or crossing branches.

Propagate by softwood cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Alternatively, sow seeds in spring. Cuttings root relatively easily in well-draining compost. Seedlings may require vernalization for best results.

Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, or add grit to a standard compost.

This provides fresh nutrients and space for root growth.
