Water
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in fall and winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, which this plant dislikes.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in fall and winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, which this plant dislikes.
Prune back in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Pinching back young shoots can promote a more compact form and more abundant flowering. Deadheading spent flowers can also prolong blooming.
Propagate by softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late spring or summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining medium, such as a mix of peat and perlite, kept moist and warm.
Seed propagation is also possible but may take longer to establish.
Repot young plants annually in the 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 to allow for continued root development.
