Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Ensure good drainage in the pot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems to promote vigor.
Major pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins to stimulate a more compact form.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm until roots develop.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil, perlite, and sand.
Repot in spring before active growth starts.
