Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent waterlogged roots. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.
Prune lightly in spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. Pinch back new growth to encourage bushiness. Heavy pruning is generally not required unless the plant becomes overgrown.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and in a warm, bright location.
Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
