Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming bone dry.

Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This also helps to promote more blooms in the following season.

Avoid heavy pruning in late fall or winter.

Propagate by seeds sown in spring or summer. Scarify the seeds and soak them in warm water overnight before sowing in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Germination can be slow and erratic.

Grafting is another method for faster results.

Repot young plants annually or bi-annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one.

Ensure good drainage holes.
