Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in cooler conditions. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or faded flower heads regularly to promote continuous blooming and prevent seed formation.
Propagate by seed sown in spring or by stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Seeds germinate best with bottom heat. Cuttings root readily in a moist, well-draining medium.
Repot every two to three years in spring as needed, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend, to ensure good aeration.
