Water
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or spent flowers regularly to prolong blooming.
Harder pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins to revitalize the plant.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and insert into moist, well-draining potting mix. Cuttings typically root within 3-4 weeks.
Can also be grown from seed, sown in spring.
Repot every 1-2 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a good quality, well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
