Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, especially during cooler months. Reduce watering frequency in winter.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Avoid heavy pruning, as this can stress the plant.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Root cuttings in a well-draining medium, such as a mix of sand and peat moss, and maintain high humidity.
Repot young plants annually, or as needed, into slightly larger containers. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Use a well-draining potting mix.
