Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in autumn and winter to prevent waterlogging.
Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in containers.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to improve air circulation and plant health.
Heavy pruning is generally not required but can be done to control size.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or autumn. Insert cuttings into a moist, well-draining propagation medium and keep them in a warm, humid environment until rooted.
Alternatively, grow from seed sown in spring.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring as needed. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently.
Use a free-draining potting mix, such as a peat-based compost with added grit, to ensure good aeration and drainage.
