Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering during cooler months, but do not let the plant dry out completely.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain shape, encourage bushier growth, and remove any dead or damaged stems. Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best in early spring before new growth begins.
This helps keep the plant tidy.
Propagate primarily through stem cuttings. Take 7-10 cm cuttings from healthy stems in spring or early summer. Plant them in well-draining potting mix and keep them moist and warm.
Roots typically form within a few weeks.
Repot young plants annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Repotting is best done in spring.
