Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Maintain consistent soil moisture, allowing the top inch to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Water more frequently during active growth and less in winter.
Prune to maintain shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage new blooms. Avoid heavy pruning.
Easily propagated from seeds sown fresh or from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Seeds may require stratification. Cuttings should be rooted in a well-draining medium in warm, humid conditions.
Repot young plants annually and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before new growth begins.
