Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 1-2 cm of soil to dry out between waterings.
Reduce watering slightly during winter months to prevent root rot, especially if the plant is in a cooler location.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back the tips of young stems regularly. Remove any leggy or overgrown shoots to promote a more compact form.
Pruning can be done anytime but is best after flowering.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the soil moist and provide warmth and humidity until roots develop, usually within 4-6 weeks.
Repot your Procris crenata every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
