Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water deeply when the top few centimeters of soil are dry. Avoid overwatering, as this plant is drought-tolerant and susceptible to root rot.

Reduce watering significantly during winter months.

Prune in early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged wood from winter. Lightly trim back flowering stems after blooming to encourage bushier growth and prevent excessive self-seeding.

Avoid heavy pruning into old wood.

Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or from seed sown in spring. Cuttings should be placed in well-draining compost and kept in a warm, humid environment until rooted.

Seed germination can be erratic, so cuttings are often preferred.

Repot established plants only when necessary, typically every 2-3 years, or when they become root-bound. Choose a pot with excellent drainage.

Use a free-draining compost mix, such as a combination of potting soil and grit. Repot in spring before new growth begins.
