Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Reduce watering in cooler months, but do not let the plant completely dry out.
Prune to maintain shape and size, or to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning can be done after flowering. Light pruning encourages bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning as it can stress the plant.
Propagate from seeds, which should be sown fresh. Cuttings can also be taken from mature stems and planted in moist potting mix. Rooting hormone may improve success rates for cuttings.
Repot young plants annually or every two years, and mature plants every 3-5 years, when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before new growth begins.
