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 during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Reduce watering frequency in fall and winter, allowing the soil to dry more between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune regularly to maintain a bushy shape and encourage fuller growth. Pinch back the tips of stems to prevent legginess. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves promptly to keep the plant healthy and attractive.
Pruning can also be used to control the size of the plant.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 4-6 inch cuttings with at least two nodes, remove the lower leaves, and place them in water or moist potting mix. Roots should form within a few weeks.
Once rooted, pot them into their own containers.
Repot every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Spring is the ideal time for repotting to allow the plant to establish in its new container during the growing season.
