Water
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Check soil moisture by inserting a finger a few centimeters deep before watering.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Check soil moisture by inserting a finger a few centimeters deep before watering.
Prune after flowering in late summer or early autumn to maintain shape and encourage bushiness. Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done in spring to shape the plant.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid to late summer. Insert cuttings into a well-draining compost mix, keep them moist, and place in a warm, humid environment. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when they become root-bound. Use a good quality, peat-based potting compost. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the previous one.
