Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly once the top 2-3 cm of soil has dried out, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogging. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot.
Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done after flowering to maintain desired size and form.
Easily propagated from seeds sown in spring under glass. Cuttings taken in late spring or early summer can also be rooted in moist potting mix.
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.
