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 to prevent waterlogging.
Reduce watering frequency during the dormant winter months, allowing the soil to dry out slightly more between waterings.
Prune to maintain shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Light pruning can be done at any time, but heavier pruning is best performed in early spring before new growth emerges.
This encourages bushier growth.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Use a rooting hormone to improve success rates. Plant cuttings in a well-draining potting mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.
Patience is key for successful rooting.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Repotting is best done in early spring before the active growing season begins.
