Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, but do not let the soil become completely dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to maintain shape and size. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can also be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid-summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, kept moist and warm. Alternatively, seeds can be sown in autumn, requiring a period of cold stratification.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years as needed. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
