Water
Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage.
Reduce watering frequency during winter dormancy, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage.
Reduce watering frequency during winter dormancy, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flower stalks to prevent self-seeding if desired.
For overgrown plants, a harder prune in late winter or early spring can rejuvenate them.
Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring or autumn. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer and rooted in well-draining soil or a misting environment.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space. Mature plants typically require less frequent repotting, only when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
