Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems to promote a more compact form.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Root cuttings in moist potting mix or water until roots form.
Repot every 1-2 years in spring when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is slightly larger than the previous one with fresh potting mix.
