Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Prune to maintain shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged branches. Pinch back new growth to encourage bushiness. Heavy pruning can be done in early spring before new growth emerges. Use clean, sharp tools.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone to encourage faster root development. Plant cuttings in a well-draining potting mix and keep them consistently moist and warm.
Rooted cuttings can be transplanted after a few weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Choose a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before active growth begins.
