Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging the roots. Reduce watering significantly during the cooler, dormant months to prevent root rot. Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged stems. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth. Heavy pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots develop.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Repotting is best done in spring.
