Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. In warmer months, increase frequency. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged conditions, as this plant is sensitive to overwatering.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. This also helps to improve air circulation and prevent disease.
Light trimming can be done throughout the year to control size.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, bright location until roots develop.
This method is generally straightforward for this species.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. The best time to repot is in spring before the active growing season. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting soil.
Be gentle with the roots during the process.
