Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter when the plant's growth slows down.
Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or crossing branches. This encourages bushier growth and can improve flowering. Light pruning can be done after flowering.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Keep moist and warm until roots develop, which can take several weeks.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Choose a pot one size larger with good drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix.
