Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, especially during cooler months. In hot, dry periods, increase watering frequency. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or straggly stems throughout the year. Pinching back young plants promotes a more compact form.
Propagate from softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Root cuttings in moist, well-draining potting mix in a warm, humid environment. Can also be grown from seed sown in spring.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one. Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
