Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this plant is susceptible to root rot. Reduce watering in winter to allow the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or leggy stems. Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best done in early spring before new growth begins. Pinch back tips to encourage bushier growth.
Propagate by taking stem cuttings in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm location with bright, indirect light until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in early spring before new growth starts.
