Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. In hotter weather, increase frequency. Reduce watering during winter dormancy.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote more blooms and prevent seed formation.

Light pruning can be done any time, but heavier pruning is best done in early spring before new growth begins.

Propagate from seed sown in spring or from stem cuttings taken in late spring or summer. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and planted in well-draining soil. Seeds germinate best in warm conditions.

Repot annually or every two years in spring when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive moisture retention.
