Watering

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 layering or by semi-ripe cuttings in summer

Growing
