Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. In warmer, drier conditions, you may need to water more frequently.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged soil.
Prune to maintain desired shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back the tips of young stems. Remove any leggy or overgrown branches to promote a more compact plant. Pruning can be done year-round as needed.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 7-10 cm cuttings from healthy stems, remove lower leaves, and plant them in moist potting mix or water. Roots typically form within a few weeks.
Keep them in a warm, bright location.
Repot your Pseuderanthemum album every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring for best results.
