Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter months when growth slows. Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Lightly trim back leggy stems in spring or after flowering. Remove any dead or damaged branches to improve air circulation and plant health. Avoid heavy pruning.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm location with bright, indirect light until they root.
Repot every 2-3 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. Repot in early spring before new growth begins.
