Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months or when the plant is dormant.
Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Light pruning can be done after flowering to shape the plant and remove any leggy or damaged stems.
Avoid heavy pruning during the active growing season.
Propagate by seeds sown in spring, or by stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Cuttings should be rooted in well-draining potting mix in a warm, bright location.
Seeds germinate readily under suitable conditions.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring, or when they become root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one with adequate drainage holes.
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend for annuals or succulents.
