Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems at any time of year.
Easily propagated from seed sown in spring or from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Ensure cuttings are allowed to callus.
Repot young plants annually or biennially in spring. Mature plants generally do not require frequent repotting and prefer to be slightly root-bound.
