Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during cooler months when growth slows.

Ensure good drainage to prevent water accumulation around the roots.

Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can affect future blooms.

Remove spent flower clusters to maintain appearance.

Propagate from seeds, which should be sown fresh as they lose viability quickly. Alternatively, strike cuttings from semi-hardwood during the summer months. Rooting can be slow, so patience is key.

Provide a warm and humid environment for successful propagation.

Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to prevent overwatering.

Repot in spring before new growth begins.
