Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. This helps direct the plant's energy towards healthy new growth and more blooms.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist potting mix. Keep in a warm, bright location, and mist regularly until roots develop.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, slightly larger than the current pot. Handle the root ball gently to avoid damage.
