Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogged roots. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in containers.

Overwatering is the most common cause of problems for this plant.

Pruning is generally minimal. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems in early spring before new growth begins. This helps maintain a tidy appearance and encourages healthy development.

Deadheading spent flowers is usually not necessary, as they are a natural part of the plant's cycle.

Propagate by seed sown in autumn or spring, or by taking basal cuttings in late spring or early summer. Seeds benefit from a period of cold stratification.

Cuttings should be placed in a well-draining medium and kept moist in a sheltered location until established.

Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining, gritty compost. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Ensure adequate drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
