Water regularly, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings for established plants.

Young plants require more frequent watering to establish a strong root system.

Prune after flowering to shape the shrub and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This also encourages better air circulation and promotes future blooms.

For older plants, rejuvenation pruning can be done in late winter.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid-summer. Select healthy shoots, dip the base in rooting hormone, and plant in a moist, well-draining potting mix.

Rooting typically occurs within 6-8 weeks in a warm environment.

Repot young plants every 2-3 years or when root-bound, preferably in early spring before new growth appears. Use a slightly larger pot with good drainage and a peat-based potting mix.

Mature plants rarely need repotting and can be top-dressed annually.
