Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogging, but do not allow the soil to dry out completely.

Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in containers.

Prune to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth, typically in spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches.

Deadheading spent flowers can encourage further blooming, but note the subsequent fruit is highly toxic.

Propagate from seeds sown in spring, or from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seeds may require stratification or scarification for better germination.

Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium in a warm, humid environment.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring as they outgrow their containers. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently.

Use a well-draining potting mix, and ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes. Avoid overpotting.
