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 in winter.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as this plant prefers to be on the drier side once established.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage reblooming. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to prevent seed formation and prolong the blooming period.
Hard pruning is usually not necessary unless rejuvenating an overgrown plant.
Propagate from seeds sown in spring or early autumn. It can also be propagated by division of established clumps in spring. Seeds may require stratification for better germination.
Root cuttings can also be taken in summer.
Repot young plants annually or as needed, typically in spring. Established plants in the ground rarely need repotting.
Choose a pot with drainage holes and use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, to prevent waterlogging.
