Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during warmer months. Reduce watering in winter, allowing the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as this plant dislikes excessively wet conditions.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches at any time of year.
Heavy pruning is generally not required but can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Propagate from seeds sown in spring, or take semi-hardwood cuttings in summer. Seeds may require scarification or stratification for better germination.
Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a well-draining medium in a warm, humid environment.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, every 3-4 years, or when root-bound.
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
