Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage.
Reduce watering slightly during cooler months or if the plant is not actively growing.
Pinch back young plants to encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove any dead or leggy stems.
This encourages new growth.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Use a rooting hormone to improve success rates.
Plant cuttings in a well-draining potting mix and keep them moist and warm in a bright, indirect light location until established.
Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring before active growth begins to minimize stress.
