Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Pleroma granulosum regularly 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 slightly during cooler, dormant periods.
Prune Pleroma granulosum after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime to manage size.
Heavy pruning is best done in late winter.
Propagate Pleroma granulosum from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.
Repot Pleroma granulosum every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss and perlite. Repot in spring before new growth begins to avoid disturbing the plant.
