Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during cooler months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Prune annually in early spring before new growth begins to encourage bushier growth and abundant flowering. Remove dead or damaged stems at any time.
Pinch back leggy stems to promote a more compact form and increase flowering potential.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Cuttings should be 7-10 cm long and have at least two nodes. Plant them in well-draining potting mix and keep them consistently moist and warm until roots form.
Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in early spring before active growth starts.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
