Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during warmer months.
Reduce watering in cooler periods to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage to avoid standing water.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Pinch back young plants to promote bushier growth.
Light pruning can be done in early spring to remove any dead or damaged stems and shape the plant.
Propagate from seed sown in spring, either directly outdoors after the last frost or indoors a few weeks prior. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-ripe shoots in summer and rooted in a moist, well-draining medium.
Ensure cuttings have a node to encourage rooting.
Repot young plants annually or when they become root-bound, typically in spring. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one and ensure it has adequate drainage holes.
Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for flowering plants. Mature plants may need repotting every 2-3 years.
