Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions, especially during winter dormancy.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Pinch back tips to encourage bushier growth and more flowers.
Pruning can also be done after flowering to maintain shape.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining potting mix.
Keep them in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light until they establish roots.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting soil. The best time to repot is in early spring before the active growing season begins.
Water thoroughly after repotting.
