Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently to keep the soil lightly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Allow the top centimeter of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to prevent issues.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems at any time of the year. This also helps in improving air circulation and preventing diseases.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, bright location until new growth appears.
Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
