Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back the tips of young plants and remove any leggy or overgrown stems. Deadhead spent flowers to promote further blooming.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Root cuttings in water or a moist potting mix. Can also be grown from seed, though cuttings are more common.
Repot every 1-2 years in spring when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is slightly larger than the previous one and ensure it has adequate drainage holes.
