Water
Water consistently, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, but do not allow the soil to become completely dry.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, but do not allow the soil to become completely dry.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Prune to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done any time of year, but heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to encourage vigorous flowering.
Propagation is typically done from seeds sown in spring, which may require stratification. Cuttings taken from semi-hardwood in summer can also be rooted under warm, humid conditions with the use of rooting hormone.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring as they outgrow their containers. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, perhaps every 3-4 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
