Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Allow excess water to drain away completely. Reduce watering frequency during winter dormancy. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Consistent moisture is key during the growing season.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or leggy stems.
Harder pruning can be done in early spring before new growth emerges to rejuvenate the plant and control its size.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep moist and in a warm location with bright, indirect light until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, 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 over-potting, which can retain too much moisture.
