Watering

Even soft damp soil, do not allow full substrate drying between watering

Fertilizing

Weak all-purpose liquid feed monthly spring through mid-autumn growth

Pruning

Routine pruning is unnecessary; shorten overlong shoots to fit the available space. For last-year flowering growth, prune after flowering; for current-year flowering growth, prune in late winter or spring. This guidance is for established plants. Pinch out young plants to encourage branching.

Propagation

Propagate by semi-ripe cuttings in summer

Growing

Grow in pots of loam-based compost in bright, filtered light. Water moderately while in growth and apply a balanced liquid feed monthly; water sparingly in winter. Pot on every 2-3 years and top dress in spring
