Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or leggy stems. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Pinch back tips to encourage bushier growth.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use cuttings about 10-15 cm long, remove lower leaves, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone. Plant in well-draining potting mix and keep moist.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring.
