Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in cooler months when the plant's growth slows down.

Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent excess moisture accumulation.

Pinch back the tips of young plants to encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming.

Prune lightly after the main flowering period to maintain shape and remove any dead or leggy stems. This encourages new shoots.

Propagate by seeds sown in spring, lightly covering them with soil. Germination typically occurs within 2-3 weeks under warm conditions.

Cuttings taken in late spring or early summer can also be rooted in moist, well-draining potting mix.

Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
