Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but avoid letting the plant dry out completely. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done any time, but heavier pruning is best done after flowering.

Pinching back young stems will promote more branching.

Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and in a warm, humid environment.

Seeds can also be sown fresh, but cuttings are more reliable for genetic traits.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one with adequate drainage holes.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil, perlite, and sand. Repot in spring before new growth begins.
