Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage and reduce watering frequency during cooler months.
Allow soil to slightly dry out between waterings.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Pinch back new growth to promote a more compact form.
Pruning is generally minimal and focused on plant health.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, bright location until roots form, which usually takes several weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting soil. Handle the roots gently to avoid damage.
Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
