Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings, especially during warmer months.

Reduce watering in cooler periods, but never let the plant dry out completely. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Pinch back new growth to encourage a bushier habit. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can detract from the plant's natural form.

Pruning in late winter before new growth appears is also acceptable.

Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining, moist medium. Maintain high humidity and warmth.

Alternatively, seeds can be sown in a cold frame in autumn, though germination can be slow and erratic.

Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining, acidic potting mix. Spring is the ideal time for repotting, just as new growth begins.

Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid over-watering issues.
