Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in cooler months, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune to maintain shape, control size, or encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing stems at any time. Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage more blooms. Avoid heavy pruning in winter.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Ensure cuttings have at least two nodes. Plant in moist, well-draining potting mix and keep in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
Spring is the ideal time for repotting to allow the plant to establish before the main growing season.
