Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately, ensuring good drainage. Avoid waterlogging, especially during cooler months. Drought tolerant once established.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or damaged branches at any time. Light pruning can be done to control size.
Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or autumn. Can also be grown from seed, though germination may be slow and erratic.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Water thoroughly after repotting.
