Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid letting the plant dry out completely, as this can stress it.

Reduce watering slightly in cooler months.

Pinch back young plants to encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming.

Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or leggy stems before new growth begins.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist potting mix or perlite.

Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring, but may take longer to establish.

Repot every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repot in spring before the active growing season commences to minimize transplant shock.
