Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems. Major pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins to rejuvenate the plant.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm location with bright, indirect light.
Repot every 1-2 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is slightly larger than the current one with fresh, well-draining potting soil. This provides new nutrients and space for root growth.
