Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water around the roots.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water around the roots.
Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. This can be done after flowering. Pinching back young growth can encourage bushier development. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.
Propagation is typically done by seeds sown in spring, or by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification.
Cuttings should be placed in a well-draining potting mix and kept consistently moist and warm.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one with adequate drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix.
