Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Lantana peduncularis is drought-tolerant once established and prefers to dry out slightly between waterings.
Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.
Also known as Galapagos Lantana

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Lantana peduncularis is drought-tolerant once established and prefers to dry out slightly between waterings.
Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure good drainage.
Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or damaged stems anytime. Regular deadheading of spent flowers will promote more blooms throughout the season.
Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist potting mix. Keep in a warm, humid location until roots develop.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger with excellent drainage. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a cactus or succulent blend.
