Water
Water regularly during the growing season, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in fall and winter as growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in fall and winter as growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune aggressively in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to control size and shape. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Light pruning can also be done after flowering to maintain tidiness and encourage reblooming.
Easily propagated from softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late spring or summer. Insert cuttings into a moist potting mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.
Repot young plants annually in spring into a slightly larger container to accommodate their vigorous root growth. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
