Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months or when the plant is dormant to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to encourage bushier growth and more blooms. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pinch back young shoots to promote branching and a compact form.
Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment until they root, which usually takes several weeks.
Repot every 1-2 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Handle the roots gently to avoid damage.
