Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Established plants are moderately drought-tolerant, but consistent moisture promotes better flowering.
Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Shape the plant to maintain an open structure for good air circulation.
Aim to reduce the overall size by about one-third.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots. Insert cuttings into a well-draining potting mix, keep humid, and place in a warm location with bright, indirect light.
Rooting typically occurs within 6-8 weeks.
Repot young plants annually in early spring into a slightly larger container. Mature plants benefit from repotting every 2-3 years. Use a high-quality potting mix amended with compost.
Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
