Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy. Avoid waterlogging, as this plant prefers drier conditions and is drought-tolerant once established.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and remove dead or overgrown stems. Light pruning can be done to encourage bushier growth. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood, as it may not regrow well.

Remove any crossing or damaged branches to improve air circulation and plant health.

Best propagated from seed sown in autumn or early spring. Stratification may improve germination rates. Cuttings taken in late spring or early summer can also be successful, but are generally more difficult to root.

Ensure cuttings are taken from healthy, vigorous parent plants.

Young plants may benefit from repotting every 2-3 years into a slightly larger container. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally gritty or sandy.

Established plants are generally not fussy and prefer to be slightly pot-bound. Repotting is best done in spring before new growth begins.
