Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when the plant's growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage to prevent moisture accumulation around the roots.
Prune lightly to shape the plant and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done at any time of year, but major pruning is best undertaken in spring before new growth begins.
Pinching back new shoots can encourage bushier growth.
Propagation is typically done through stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy stems, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant them in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, preferably a peat-based mixture. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins.
