Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry, typically once or twice a week during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogged roots. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.
Overwatering is more detrimental than underwatering.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Light pruning can be done throughout the year to control size.
Heavy pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or hardwood cuttings taken in winter. Cuttings should be 10-15 cm long and rooted in a well-draining compost mix. Rooting hormone can improve success rates.
Keep cuttings moist and warm.
Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, preferably in early spring before new growth starts. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
This ensures adequate space for root growth and replenishes soil nutrients.
