Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings, especially during the growing season.
Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot, allowing the soil to dry more thoroughly.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing stems anytime. Hard pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins to rejuvenate the plant and promote flowering.
Pinch back tips to encourage branching.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Insert cuttings into a moist, well-draining potting mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment. Rooting typically occurs within 4-6 weeks.
Seeds can also be sown in spring.
Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
Refresh the top layer of soil annually.
