Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering during cooler months and allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and size, and to encourage more blooms in the following season. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Light pruning can be done to shape the tree and improve air circulation within the canopy.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Use a rooting hormone to improve success rates and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep cuttings in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light.
Repot young plants annually in spring, or when root-bound. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix amended with compost.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
