During the dormant winter period, reduce watering significantly, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Prune Praxelis missiona lightly after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems at any time of the year.
Heavy pruning can be done in early spring before new growth begins.
Praxelis missiona can be propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Select healthy stems, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in moist, well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid location until roots form.
Repot Praxelis missiona every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins.
