Fertilizing

Balanced dilute tropical shrub feed biweekly spring summer growth

Pruning

For free-standing plants: Prune lightly as needed to remove unwanted shoots and keep the shrub in shape. Prune in mid- to late spring. For wall-trained specimens: On established wall-trained shrubs, shorten sideshoots to two to four buds from the framework; remove shoots growing towards the wall. Prune annually after flowering on last-year growth, or in late winter or early spring on current-year growth.

Propagation

Propagate by softwood cuttings in spring

Growing

Outdoors grow in free-draining soil in a sheltered, sunny position, such as against a warm wall, and provide winter protection. Under glass grow in a loam-based potting compost in full light. Water freely when in growth and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthy. Keep barely moist in winter. Pots can be stood outdoors in summer
