Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune regularly to maintain a bushy shape and encourage fuller growth. Trim back leggy stems to promote branching. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves promptly.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 4-6 inch cuttings and root them in water or moist potting mix. They root quickly, often within a few weeks.
Repot every 1-2 years in spring when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Refresh the potting mix with fresh soil.
