Water
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during the growing season.
Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during the growing season.
Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.
Prune in early spring before new growth begins to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems.
Pinch back the tips of young shoots to promote a more compact form and abundant flowering.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, bright location until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years in early spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger with good drainage. Use a light, well-draining potting mix.
This process rejuvenates the plant and provides fresh nutrients.
