Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering significantly during the dormant period in winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering significantly during the dormant period in winter, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Remove spent flower stalks to encourage further blooming. Trim back leggy growth in early spring to maintain a compact shape. Dead or damaged leaves should be removed as they appear.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a moist, well-draining potting mix. Alternatively, propagate from seed sown in spring.
Repot every 1-2 years in spring when the plant outgrows its container or the potting mix becomes depleted. Use a well-draining potting mix formulated forGesneriads.
Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
