Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Maintain consistently moist soil, but avoid waterlogging. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in humid environments. Overwatering is a common issue.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves promptly. Pinch back stem tips regularly during the growing season to promote branching.
Pruning can be done any time of year, but is most effective in spring.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Select healthy stems, cut them to about 10-15 cm, and remove lower leaves. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining potting mix.
Keep in a warm, bright location until rooted.
Repot every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before new growth begins.
Gently loosen the root ball and water thoroughly after repotting.
