Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. In hot, dry conditions, more frequent watering may be necessary. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering during cooler, dormant periods to prevent over-saturation.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushiness.

Hard pruning can rejuvenate older plants.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm until roots form.

Seeds can also be sown in spring, but cuttings are generally easier and faster.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, when rootbound. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excess moisture retention.
