Key traits and growing stats from plant data
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 feels dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but never allow the soil to dry out completely.
Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain a desired shape and encourage bushier growth. Trim back leggy stems regularly, especially in spring and summer. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves promptly to keep the plant looking tidy and healthy.
Can be trimmed back hard if it becomes overgrown.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 5-10 cm cuttings from healthy stems, remove lower leaves, and insert them into moist potting mix or water. Roots will form in a few weeks.
Can also be propagated by division of clumps.
Repot every 1-2 years in spring, 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.
Repotting refreshes the soil and provides more space for root growth, leading to a healthier plant.
