Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during hot weather.
Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent root rot.
Pinch back young plants to encourage bushier growth and remove spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged stems.
Propagate from seed sown indoors in early spring, or from stem cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Cuttings root easily in moist, well-draining potting mix, often within a few weeks.
Repot annually or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in spring before new growth begins. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one with adequate drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix.
