Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out a little more between waterings.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This also helps manage size.
Propagate primarily by seeds, which require stratification before sowing. Alternatively, take stem cuttings in spring or summer and root them in a moist, well-draining medium.
Cuttings may require bottom heat and high humidity to successfully root.
Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years as needed. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one, with adequate drainage holes.
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss and perlite.
