Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering slightly in winter.
Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
Prune to maintain shape, remove yellow or dead leaves, and control size. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. Cut back stems just above a leaf node to encourage bushier growth.
This also helps direct energy to new, healthy foliage.
Propagate by stem cuttings or division. For stem cuttings, take a 10-15 cm piece of stem with at least two leaves and root it in water or moist potting mix. Division is best done during repotting in spring.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Repotting in spring is ideal to accommodate new growth.
