Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Allow excess water to drain completely to prevent waterlogging. Reduce watering frequency during winter dormancy to avoid root rot.

Overwatering is a common cause of problems.

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pinch back young shoots to promote a more compact form.

Heavy pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or autumn. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep consistently moist and provide bottom heat for best results.

Successful propagation requires patience and suitable conditions.

Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring, or when roots become pot-bound. Choose a pot one size larger with good drainage. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.

Avoid repotting during extreme weather.
