Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top centimeter of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months, especially if the plant is in a dormant phase.
Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back leggy stems regularly. Remove spent flowers to promote continuous blooming.
Heavy pruning can be done in early spring before new growth emerges to rejuvenate the plant.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Cuttings should be 7-10 cm long and rooted in moist potting mix or water. Rooting typically occurs within 3-4 weeks.
Transplants can be moved to individual pots once established.
Repot annually or biennially in spring. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Repotting every year helps ensure the plant has adequate space for root growth and replenishes soil nutrients.
