Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly when the top 2-5 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, or to remove any dead or damaged branches. This can be done at any time, but late winter or early spring is ideal before new growth emerges. Use clean, sharp pruning tools.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy stems, remove lower leaves, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone. Plant in well-draining potting mix and keep moist and warm.
Rooting typically occurs within 4-6 weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring before the onset of active growth.
