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 in fall and winter to prevent waterlogged roots.
Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in containers.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Lightly shape the plant to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage bushier growth.
Deadheading spent flowers can promote further blooming.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid-summer. Insert cuttings into a well-draining potting mix and keep them moist and in a bright, indirect light location. Rooting typically occurs within several weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound, preferably in spring. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one with adequate drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix.
