Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during winter dormancy. Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent moisture buildup.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems throughout the year. Light trimming can be done to encourage more compact growth and prevent legginess.
Avoid heavy pruning.
Propagate by division of clumps in early spring, just as new growth appears. Carefully separate sections of the root system, ensuring each division has roots and at least one bud.
Replant immediately in well-draining soil.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Spring is the ideal time for repotting. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one, with ample drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix.
