Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry, especially during active growth. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering significantly in winter when the plant is dormant, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or straggly stems at any time. Hard pruning is generally not necessary unless reshaping a neglected specimen.
Propagate from seed sown in autumn or early spring. Alternatively, take basal cuttings in late spring or early summer and root them in a sandy, well-draining compost.
Division of established clumps in spring is also effective.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring as needed. Mature plants can remain in the same pot for several years. Use a well-draining compost mix, such as a loam-based compost with added grit or perlite.
