Key traits and growing stats from plant data
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 significantly in winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, as this plant is sensitive to overwatering.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems at any time.
Hard pruning is generally not required unless reshaping a significantly overgrown specimen.
Propagate from seed sown in spring or from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Cuttings should be placed in a well-draining medium and kept moist. Seed germination may be slow and requires patience.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a combination of loam, sand, and peat. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
