Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Premna coriacea thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging. Reduce watering frequency during winter months when the plant's growth slows.
Overwatering can lead to root rot, so err on the side of caution.
Prune Premna coriacea to maintain desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Light pruning can be done anytime, while heavier pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate Premna coriacea from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and provide bottom heat for best results.
Successful propagation requires patience.
Repot Premna coriacea every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Repotting is best done in spring, just as new growth begins.
