Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during the growing season.
Reduce watering in winter, allowing the soil to dry more thoroughly.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing stems at any time. For more significant reshaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm in a bright location with indirect light until roots form.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring as they outgrow their containers. Mature plants can be repotted every 3-4 years.
Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
