Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings, especially during the growing season.
Reduce watering frequency in autumn and winter to prevent root rot.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pruning can also be done to shape the plant and control its size.
Light pruning can be done throughout the year to maintain form.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or from seeds sown in autumn. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium.
Seeds require a period of cold stratification before sowing for best germination.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, 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 to avoid overwatering.
Ensure the pot has drainage holes.
