Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged, especially during active growth. Reduce watering in winter dormancy. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Check the soil moisture regularly and water when the top centimeter feels dry.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove any dead, damaged, or diseased foliage. Cut back old flowering stems to encourage fresh growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
This also helps prevent overcrowding.
Propagate by division in early spring or autumn. Carefully lift the plant and divide the root ball into smaller sections, ensuring each section has healthy roots and shoots. Replant immediately and water well.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in early spring, or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one to allow for continued growth.
