Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry. Reduce watering slightly during cooler, dormant periods, but avoid letting the plant completely dry out.
Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged stems. Light pruning can be done anytime, but heavier pruning is best after flowering. This encourages bushier growth and can stimulate new blooms.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm.
It can also be propagated by division of established clumps, best done in early spring.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend for acid-loving plants. Repot in spring before new growth begins. Ensure the new pot offers adequate drainage.
