Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top centimeter of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or leggy growth, and encourage bushier foliage. Pinch back the tips of young stems to promote branching.
Pruning can be done at any time, but is best performed in spring before new growth begins.
Propagate from stem cuttings, typically 10-15 cm long, taken in spring or summer. Remove lower leaves and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
Plant in a moist, well-draining potting mix and keep in a warm, humid environment. Roots usually form within a few weeks.
Repot young plants annually in spring, and more mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
Repotting provides fresh nutrients and space for root growth.
