Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, but do not let the soil become completely dry.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pruning can also be used to maintain shape and size, encouraging bushier growth and more prolific flowering.
Light shaping can be done after flowering.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Insert cuttings into a well-draining potting mix, keeping them moist and in a warm, humid environment. Rooting typically occurs within 4-6 weeks.
Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring.
Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has adequate drainage holes.
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss and perlite.
