Water
Water consistently, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogged roots, which can lead to root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid excess moisture accumulation.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogged roots, which can lead to root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid excess moisture accumulation.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Lightly trim leggy stems in spring or after flowering. Remove any dead or damaged branches at any time of year to keep the plant healthy and tidy.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Insert cuttings into a well-draining propagation mix. Keep moist and humid, providing bottom heat if possible, to encourage root development.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a standard peat-based mix with added perlite. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
