Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter when the plant's growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent excess moisture accumulation.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can be done in spring after flowering.
For more significant reshaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Insert cuttings into a well-draining potting mix and keep them consistently moist and warm. Rooting can take several weeks to months.
Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring, ideally before the start of active growth.
Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
