Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly 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 months when the plant's growth slows down.
Prune lightly after flowering to encourage bushier growth and to remove spent flower stalks. Pinch back the tips of young stems to promote branching.
Remove any dead or damaged foliage throughout the year to maintain plant health and appearance.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, bright location until new growth appears.
Repot every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excessive moisture retention.
