Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering slightly in winter. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, especially during warmer months and when the plant is establishing.
Prune immediately after flowering to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches. Avoid heavy pruning as it can reduce the next season's blooms. Light tip pruning can encourage bushier growth.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in mid-summer. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining, acidic potting mix. Maintain high humidity and consistent moisture until roots form.
Repot young plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound, typically in early spring before new growth begins. Use a well-draining, acidic potting mix. Ensure the new pot is only slightly larger than the current one.
