Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Overwatering is a common mistake, so err on the side of slightly too dry rather than too wet.
Prune to shape the plant, remove dead or diseased branches, and encourage bushier growth. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
Remove spent flowers to promote more blooms.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and warm, and they should root within a few weeks.
This method is generally successful for this species.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
Repotting is best done in spring before the start of the active growing season to minimize stress.
