Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent moisture buildup around the roots, especially during periods of lower growth.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flowers and any dead or damaged stems.
Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to promote vigorous blooming.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 6-10 cm cuttings in spring or summer. Remove lower leaves and insert the cut end into a moist, well-draining potting mix. Rooting can be accelerated with a rooting hormone.
Keep cuttings in a warm, bright location.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
Repotting is best done in spring, before the active growing season begins, to minimize transplant shock.
