Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when the plant's growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Prune to maintain shape and size, or to remove any dead or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done anytime, but more significant pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Remove any suckers that emerge from the base.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Use a rooting hormone to encourage root development.
Plant cuttings in a well-draining potting mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light. Patience is key for successful rooting.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.
Repotting is best done in spring.
