Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid allowing the soil to completely dry out. Reduce watering in cooler months when growth slows.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems. Regular light pruning will help keep the plant tidy and productive.
Propagate from seed sown in spring or autumn. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer. Root cuttings in moist, well-draining compost. Seeds may require stratification.
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 slightly larger than the current one.
