Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to maintain consistently moist soil. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
Reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant, but do not let the soil become completely dry.
Prune after flowering in late spring or early summer to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done to shape the plant and encourage bushier growth.
Avoid heavy pruning in fall or winter, as it can remove flower buds for the next season.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid-summer. Take 4-6 inch cuttings, remove lower leaves, and dip the base in rooting hormone. Plant in a well-draining potting mix and keep moist and humid.
Alternatively, sow seeds in autumn.
Repot young plants every 2-3 years in spring before new growth begins. Mature plants generally do not require frequent repotting and can be top-dressed with fresh soil. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the current one.
