Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in cooler months when the plant's growth slows down. Ensure good drainage in the pot.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or faded flower stalks regularly.
For more vigorous plants, a harder prune in late winter or early spring can revitalize them.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining potting mix. Keep in a warm, bright location, and roots should form within a few weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a good quality, free-draining potting compost.
Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
