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 but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season. Allow the top 1-2 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Reduce watering in winter, allowing the soil to dry more thoroughly.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms. After flowering, trim back any straggly or overgrown stems to maintain a compact shape.
Light pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins to remove any winter damage.
Propagate from seed sown in autumn or early spring. Alternatively, take cuttings in late spring or early summer.
Root cuttings in a well-draining, moist medium and keep them in a warm, humid environment until established.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when they become root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and loam, to ensure good aeration.
