Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during winter months when the plant's growth slows.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during winter months when the plant's growth slows.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Heavy pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to stimulate flowering.
Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid-summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots develop.
Alternatively, sow seeds in spring.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one. Trim any circling roots.
