Water consistently, especially during dry periods, to maintain evenly moist soil. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months or when the plant is dormant.

Check soil moisture regularly before watering.

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding. Remove any yellowing or dead foliage as it appears.

Pruning can also be done to shape the plant or reduce its size if it becomes leggy.

Propagate from seeds sown directly outdoors after the last frost or indoors 6-8 weeks prior. Seeds require light to germinate.

Cuttings can also be taken in spring or summer and rooted in moist, well-draining soil or a perlite mix.

Repot young plants annually or when they become root-bound, typically in spring. Choose a pot with good drainage. Mature plants may not require frequent repotting and can thrive in their containers for several years.
