Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately, allowing the top centimeter of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent excess moisture retention.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems. This also helps to improve air circulation and prevent disease.
Pruning is generally minimal for this species.
Easily propagated from seed sown in spring or autumn, or from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seeds can be sown directly into well-draining soil or started indoors.
Cuttings should be rooted in a moist, well-draining medium.
Repot young plants annually or biannually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining compost mix, such as a loam-based compost with added grit or perlite.
Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
