Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during warmer months. Reduce watering in cooler periods, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and encourage vigorous flowering.
Light pruning can also be done after flowering to tidy the plant.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid-summer. Select healthy stems, make a clean cut below a leaf node, and dip in rooting hormone. Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep consistently moist and warm.
Repot young plants annually or bi-annually in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years.
Use a good quality, well-draining potting mix and choose a pot slightly larger than the current one.
