Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering slightly in winter, but do not allow the soil to dry out completely.
Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back leggy stems regularly. Remove any dead or yellowing foliage to improve air circulation and overall plant health.
Heavy pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 7-10 cm cuttings in spring or summer. Remove the lower leaves and plant them in moist potting mix or water. Roots typically form within a few weeks.
Once established, transplant to pots.
Repot every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Repot in spring, just before the active growing season begins, to minimize stress.
