Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent waterlogged roots, which can lead to root rot.
Prune after flowering to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Light pruning can be done throughout the year to maintain desired size and form, but avoid heavy pruning in late summer.
Easily propagated from softwood cuttings taken in spring or semi-hardwood cuttings in summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a moist, well-draining potting mix. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks.
Repot young plants annually in spring, while mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one with drainage holes.
Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent waterlogging.
