Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.

Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. For this early-flowering type, remove dead, weak, or crossing stems.

Lightly trim back stems that flowered last year to encourage new growth and a more compact shape. Minimal pruning is generally needed.

Propagation is best achieved by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid-summer. Insert cuttings into a moist, well-draining propagation mix.

Alternatively, layering can be successful in spring or early autumn, where a low-lying stem is pegged down to root.

Young plants may benefit from repotting every 2-3 years in spring into a slightly larger container with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
