Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage. Reduce watering frequency during winter dormancy.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or crossing branches. Heavy pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and provide bottom heat for best results.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
