Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in cooler months. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches. Pinch back tips to promote branching.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Root cuttings in moist potting mix or water. Seed propagation is also possible but slower.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot one size larger with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
