Propagation
Semi hardwood cuttings during autumn to winter under glass, keep warm and humid.

Aerial and ground layering can be carried out during the growing period.

Note:
The yellowing leaves (chlorosis) may be due to nematode attack and, or pH induced magnesium deficiency.

This plant dislikes hot westerly sun or a windy position and the shallow roots are damaged easily but respond to mulch. A light prune can be carried out after flowering and older plants can be cut back hard to rejuvenate to a bushy habit.
