Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently to maintain moist soil, especially during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Prune in late winter or early spring to control size and shape, and to remove any dead or damaged wood. Pinch back new growth to encourage bushier development.
Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or hardwood cuttings taken in autumn or winter. Can also be grown from seed.
Young plants may need repotting annually in spring. Mature plants in the ground rarely need repotting. If container-grown, repot every 2-3 years into a slightly larger pot.
