Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly 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 is less actively growing, but do not let the soil dry out completely.
Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems to maintain plant health and shape. Pruning can also encourage bushier growth and more flowering.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Insert cuttings into a moist, well-draining potting mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth for best results. Rooting typically occurs within 4-6 weeks.
Repot in spring every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Water thoroughly after repotting.
