Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid issues.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
This helps improve air circulation and overall plant health, preventing fungal diseases.
Easily propagated from seed sown in spring or autumn. Cuttings can also be taken in late spring or early summer and rooted in moist, well-draining potting mix. Seeds germinate readily under suitable conditions.
Repot young plants annually in spring to provide fresh soil and more space. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a good quality, well-draining potting mix.
