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 begins to feel dry. Reduce watering slightly during winter months to accommodate slower growth.
Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged stems. This also encourages denser growth. Avoid heavy pruning as it can reduce flowering for the following season.
Propagate by division of clumps in spring or from semi-ripe cuttings taken in summer. Cuttings should be placed in a well-draining compost and kept in a warm, humid environment. Divisions should be replanted immediately.
Repot every 2-3 years 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. Repot in early spring before new growth begins.
