Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently to maintain moderate soil moisture, especially when young or during dry spells. Reduce watering in winter.
Prune lightly after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead or crossing branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as it can reduce flowering.
Propagate by seeds sown in autumn or by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Layering is also an effective method.
Repot young plants every 1-2 years in spring. Mature plants generally do not require frequent repotting and prefer to be left undisturbed.
