Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, especially during the dormant season. In hot, dry periods, increase watering frequency.
Monitor soil moisture by touch.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Heavy pruning can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to stimulate flowering.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm.
Alternatively, propagate from seed sown in spring, but flowering may take longer.
Repot young plants annually in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a good quality, free-draining potting compost. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
