Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Overwatering can lead to fungal diseases, so err on the side of slightly dry rather than soggy.
Prune back by about one-third in early spring to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Deadhead spent flowers regularly throughout the blooming season to promote continuous flowering and maintain a tidy appearance.
Pinch back young plants to encourage branching.
Propagate from softwood cuttings taken in late spring or semi-hardwood cuttings in mid-summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, keeping them moist and in a warm location.
Alternatively, division of established clumps in spring is also effective.
Repot every 1-2 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting soil. This is a good opportunity to inspect the roots and trim any damaged ones.
Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
