Propagation Methods

 - Watering: Initially, water thoroughly to help the roots establish; once the plant is established, water only when the soil is dry. 3. Fertilizing: Applying slow-release fertilizer in the spring yields good results.
 - Pruning: Maintain the desired shape by pruning immediately after the flowers have faded.
