Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent overwatering.
Prune in early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems to maintain the plant's shape and encourage vigorous growth. Light pruning can also be done after flowering to tidy up.
Propagation is typically done through stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm until roots form.
Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one, with good drainage. Use a well-draining potting mix.
