Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during winter dormancy. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
In warmer, drier periods, increase watering frequency slightly to maintain consistent moisture.
Prune to maintain shape, control size, and encourage bushier growth. Deadhead spent flowers to promote further blooming. Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Remove any damaged or crossing branches.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings consistently moist and warm.
Successful propagation typically occurs within 4-6 weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is one size larger with fresh, well-draining potting soil. Repotting is best done in spring, just as new growth starts to emerge.
