Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. Light pruning can be done at any time to shape the plant.
For more vigorous plants, a harder prune in early spring can be beneficial.
Propagate from seed in early spring or autumn. Seeds can be sown directly into the garden or started indoors.
Cuttings can also be taken from softwood in late spring or semi-hardwood in mid-summer and rooted in moist, well-draining soil.
Repot young plants annually in spring as they outgrow their containers. Mature plants may only need repotting every 2-3 years. Use a good quality, general-purpose potting mix with added perlite for drainage.
Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the previous one.
