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, especially during cooler months, as this can lead to root rot.
In hot, dry conditions, more frequent watering may be necessary to maintain soil moisture.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage denser growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems.
Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken during the spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining potting mix.
Cuttings should root within a few weeks under warm conditions and high humidity.
Repot young plants annually in spring to ensure they have adequate space for root development. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix.
