Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially during cooler months.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This encourages bushier growth and maintains a desirable form.
Light trimming can be done after flowering.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining, moist potting mix.
Cover with a plastic bag to maintain humidity until roots form, which can take several weeks.
Repot young plants annually in spring, moving them to a slightly larger container. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound.
Use a good quality, well-draining potting compost to ensure healthy root development.
