Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Ensure good drainage to prevent excess moisture buildup.
Prune to shape the plant, remove dead or damaged stems, and encourage bushier growth. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain desired size and shape.
Heavy pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, keeping them consistently moist and warm.
Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring, but germination may be erratic.
Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
Repot in spring before the active growing season starts.
