Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods.
Pinch back regularly to encourage a bushier growth habit and prevent legginess. Remove any dead, damaged, or yellowing leaves promptly. Pruning can also be done to maintain desired size and shape.
Light trimming is usually sufficient.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 5-10 cm cuttings from healthy stems, remove lower leaves, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone.
Plant in moist potting mix and keep in a warm location with bright, indirect light until roots form.
Repot annually or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in early spring. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Gently loosen the roots before placing it in the new pot.
