Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done throughout the year to manage size and remove spent blooms.
Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Insert cuttings into a moist, well-draining potting mix and keep in a warm, humid environment until rooted.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is slightly larger than the previous one.
