Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Allow the top centimeter of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during warmer months.
Reduce watering in cooler, dormant periods. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or leggy stems at any time. Regular light pruning will help keep the plant tidy and productive.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a moist, well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light until roots form.
Repot young plants annually or when they become root-bound, typically in spring. Use a well-draining potting mix. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years.
Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid excess moisture retention.
