Water
Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent excess moisture buildup.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent excess moisture buildup.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or faded flower stems to keep the plant tidy.
Major pruning is generally not required, but can be done in early spring to remove any winter damage.
Propagate by softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Root cuttings in a moist, well-draining potting mix. Alternatively, division of clumps in spring or autumn is effective.
Ensure divisions have adequate roots and shoots for successful establishment.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
Water thoroughly after repotting.
