Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during winter dormancy.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Hard pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium. Maintain high humidity and warmth until roots form.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
