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 during cooler months or if the plant is dormant, but never allow the soil to dry out completely.
Prune to maintain shape and size, or to remove dead or damaged stems. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Cuttings should be at least 10-15 cm long and have several leaves. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Maintain consistent moisture and warmth.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably containing organic matter. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
Repot in spring before active growth begins.
