Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water, which this plant dislikes.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done any time of year. For shaping, prune in late spring after flowering has finished to encourage bushier growth for the next season.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining potting mix. Keep the cutting in a warm location with bright, indirect light until roots form.
Repot young plants annually, and more mature plants every 2-3 years, in the spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogged soil.
Fresh soil revitalizes the plant.
