Maintain consistently moist soil, but avoid waterlogging. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months, but never let the soil dry out completely.

Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot, especially in potted plants.

Prune regularly to maintain a bushy shape and encourage more flowers. Pinch back the tips of stems to promote branching. Remove spent flower stalks to prevent seed formation and direct energy into new growth.

Hard pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 7-10 cm cuttings from healthy, non-flowering stems in spring or summer. Remove the lower leaves and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.

Plant the cuttings in moist potting mix or water and place in a warm, bright location. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.

Repot annually or every two years, preferably in spring, when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one, with good drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting helps to refresh the soil and provide more space for root development.
