Fertilizing
Balanced feed in spring and light repeat in growth season
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.
Propagation
Propagate by seed sown at 13 to 18°C in spring or root semi-hardwood cuttings in summer. Layering can be carried out in spring or autumn
Growing
Grow under glass in loam-based potting compost in full light with shade from hot sun. Water freely when in growth and keep just moist in winter
