Water regularly during the first year to establish the plant. Once mature, it is drought-tolerant and requires infrequent watering, especially in its native climate.

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as it may not recover well.

Pinching back young shoots can promote a more compact form.

Easily propagated from seed, which requires scarification and soaking before sowing. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-hardwood in late summer or autumn, but are generally more difficult to root than seeds.

Young plants in pots may need repotting every 1-2 years into slightly larger containers. Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably formulated for Australian natives.

Avoid disturbing the root ball excessively during repotting.
