Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Bouvardia × hybrida regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during warmer months.
Reduce watering in winter when the plant is less active.
Prune Bouvardia × hybrida after flowering to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Remove spent flowers and trim back leggy stems by about one-third to one-half.
This also helps maintain a compact and attractive shape.
Propagate Bouvardia × hybrida from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late spring or summer. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining potting mix. Keep them moist and warm in a bright location.
Repot Bouvardia × hybrida every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Spring is the ideal time for repotting. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the previous one.
