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 root rot.
Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant, remove dead or overgrown stems, and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back young plants to promote branching.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Root cuttings in moist, well-draining soil or water, and provide warmth and humidity.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot one size larger with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
