Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, keeping the soil barely moist to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, which this plant dislikes.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and size. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Pinch back young shoots to encourage bushier growth.
Regular pruning also helps to stimulate more abundant flowering in subsequent seasons.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, keeping them consistently moist and in a warm, humid environment.
Seed propagation is also possible but may result in variable traits.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a good quality, well-draining potting compost. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the previous one.
