Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. In hotter weather, more frequent watering may be necessary. Reduce watering during winter dormancy.

Prune back after flowering to encourage a bushier plant and potentially a second bloom. Remove dead or spent flower stalks regularly to maintain a tidy appearance and prevent self-seeding if not desired.

Light trimming can shape the plant.

Easily propagated from seeds sown directly outdoors in spring or fall. Can also be propagated by stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer, which should be rooted in well-draining soil or perlite.

Repot only when the plant becomes root-bound, typically every two to three years. Use a well-draining potting mix. Spring is the ideal time for repotting, usually just before new growth begins.
