Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top centimeter of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but avoid letting the soil dry out completely.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged stems. Pinch back the tips of new growth to encourage a bushier habit.
Pruning can be done lightly at any time, but major shaping is best done in spring before active growth begins.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant the cuttings in a well-draining, moist potting mix.
Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light until they root.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
Repot in spring.
