Water moderately when the soil is dry to the touch. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy. Overwatering is the most common cause of failure with this species.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged stems. Avoid heavy pruning, as this plant does not regenerate well from old wood. Remove spent flower stalks to encourage further blooming.

Propagate from seed sown in autumn or early spring. Stratification may improve germination rates. Cuttings are generally difficult to root, but can be attempted from semi-hardwood in summer, using rooting hormone.

Repot only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years for young plants, less frequently for mature specimens. Use a well-draining, gritty potting mix.

Repot in early spring before new growth begins, handling the root ball gently.
