Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter months to accommodate slower growth.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Prune to remove any yellow or dead leaves and spent flower stalks. This also helps maintain a tidy appearance and encourages new growth. Pruning can be done at any time of year as needed to shape the plant.
Easily propagated from basal offsets or division of established clumps during repotting. Simply separate the offsets with roots and plant them in their own pots. Stem cuttings can also be rooted in water or moist soil.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes pot-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Spring is the ideal time for repotting.
