Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Pergularia tomentosa thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain completely to prevent root rot.
Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months, providing just enough to keep the soil from becoming bone dry. Overwatering is a common mistake.
Prune Pergularia tomentosa in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems.
Pinch back the tips of vigorous shoots to encourage a bushier habit and more abundant flowering. This also helps maintain a desired shape and size.
Pergularia tomentosa can be propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a sharp, sterile knife to take 10-15 cm cuttings. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the soil moist and provide warmth and bright, indirect light.
Repot Pergularia tomentosa every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. The best time to repot is in early spring before active growth begins. Use a slightly larger pot with a well-draining potting mix.
Handle the roots gently during repotting to minimize stress.
