Water thoroughly when the top 5-10 cm of soil is dry. Reduce watering significantly during the cooler, dormant winter months. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

Overwatering is a common cause of failure for this species.

Prune to shape and maintain desired size, preferably in late spring after flowering. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning encourages bushier growth.

Avoid heavy pruning, as it can stress the plant.

Best propagated from seeds sown in spring or early summer. Scarify seeds or soak them in warm water for 24 hours before sowing in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Cuttings are difficult to root.

Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring, moving to a slightly larger pot. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, only when root-bound. Use a gritty, well-draining potting mix.
