Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Graham's Manihot thoroughly when the top 5-10 cm of soil is dry. Allow excess water to drain freely to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months or when the plant is dormant.
Overwatering is detrimental, so err on the side of underwatering.
Prune Graham's Manihot to maintain shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged branches. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Heavy pruning can encourage bushier growth.
Propagate Graham's Manihot from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Ensure cuttings have at least two nodes and are planted in well-draining soil. Rooting hormone can be used to speed up the process.
Keep cuttings moist and warm.
Repot Graham's Manihot every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Spring is the ideal time for repotting.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogging.
