Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any yellow or dead leaves. Pinch back leggy stems to encourage bushier growth. Pruning is generally minimal and only for aesthetic purposes.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Place cuttings in water or moist potting mix until roots develop. Division of the root ball is also effective during repotting.
Repot every 1-2 years in spring when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use fresh, well-draining potting mix.
