Water
Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Also known as Stictocardia

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top few centimeters of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant months.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Pinch back young plants to encourage bushier growth.
Flowering occurs on new growth, so pruning in late winter or early spring is beneficial.
Propagate from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid location with bright, indirect light until new growth appears.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
