Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during cooler months to prevent root rot.

Good drainage is essential to avoid overwatering issues.

Prune lightly after flowering to encourage bushier growth and a more compact form. Remove spent flower stalks to prevent self-seeding if desired.

Heavy pruning is generally not necessary unless aiming to rejuvenate an older plant.

Propagate primarily through seeds sown in spring, either directly outdoors or started indoors a few weeks prior. Cuttings can also be taken from softwood in late spring or early summer and rooted in moist, well-draining soil or a soilless mix.

Repot young plants annually in spring as they outgrow their containers. Mature plants may only need repotting every 2-3 years.

Choose a pot slightly larger than the current one and use a well-draining potting mix to ensure healthy root development.
