Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Clitoria glaberrima thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Prune Clitoria glaberrima to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to stimulate more blooms.
Heavy pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate Clitoria glaberrima from seeds sown in spring, or by taking semi-hardwood cuttings in summer. Seeds may benefit from scarification or soaking before planting.
Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and kept in a humid environment.
Repot Clitoria glaberrima every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
Repotting is best done in spring before active growth starts.
