Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when the plant's growth slows down significantly.
Prune back plants by about one-third to one-half in early spring to encourage bushier growth and prevent legginess. Deadhead spent flowers throughout the blooming season to promote continuous flowering and maintain a tidy appearance.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist potting mix. Cuttings typically root within 3-4 weeks in warm, bright conditions.
Repot young plants annually in spring into a slightly larger container. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when rootbound. Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for perennials.
