Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.
Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or yellowing leaves, and control size. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruners. Pruning can also encourage bushier growth.
Remove aerial roots if they become unsightly or are not supported.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings that include at least one leaf and a node. Root them in water or moist potting mix. New roots and leaves will emerge from the node, typically within a few weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is 2-5 cm larger in diameter than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring.
