Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Keep consistently moist during the growing season, reducing water in winter. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Ensure good drainage to prevent issues.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pinch back young shoots to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. This also helps manage size and shape.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Insert cuttings into a moist, well-draining potting mix. Keep them in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light until they root.
Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring when the plant is pot-bound. Use a larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting soil. Handle the root ball gently to avoid damage. Water thoroughly after repotting.
