Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the first few years and dry periods. Water deeply at the base of the plant, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering in winter.

Prune lightly to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. The best time to prune is immediately after flowering, as this species blooms on old wood. Avoid heavy pruning, which can reduce flowering.

Propagation is typically done by grafting onto rootstock in late winter or early spring. Seed propagation is possible but can result in plants that differ from the parent. Softwood cuttings can also be taken in summer.

Young plants may need repotting every 2-3 years, while mature specimens rarely require it. Repot in early spring before new growth begins.

Use a well-draining, slightly acidic soil mix and handle the root ball carefully to minimize disturbance.
