Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage in the pot. Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Prune in late spring or early summer after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or damaged stems at any time. Light pruning can be done to control size and promote flowering next season.
Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Insert cuttings into well-draining potting mix and keep moist. Roots typically form within 4-6 weeks.
Alternatively, division of clumps in spring is also effective.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger with fresh, well-draining potting compost. This provides fresh nutrients and space for root expansion.
