Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as this species is susceptible to overwatering. Monitor soil moisture by touch.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain a healthy structure and encourage vigorous flowering.

Light shaping can be done after flowering to manage size and form.

Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots develop.

Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring, but germination can be slow.

Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one.

Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
