Water regularly, especially during dry spells, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Deep watering is preferred to encourage strong root development.

Reduce watering in late fall and winter as the plant enters dormancy.

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or weak stems. For flowering, prune after blooming by cutting back stems to healthy buds or a strong side shoot.

This encourages more blooms next season.

Propagate from seed sown in autumn or stratified in the refrigerator. Cuttings taken in mid-summer and treated with rooting hormone can also be successful.

Layering is another effective method, where a stem is bent and covered with soil.

Young plants may need repotting every 1-2 years into slightly larger containers. Established plants in the ground rarely need repotting.

If necessary, repot in early spring before new growth emerges, being careful not to disturb the root ball excessively.
