Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or crossing branches to improve air circulation and plant health.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Seeds can also be sown, but cuttings generally result in faster and more predictable growth.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, only when root-bound, typically every 3-4 years.
