Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when growth slows.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or weak stems. This also helps manage its vining habit.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Root cuttings in moist potting mix or water, and keep them in a warm, humid environment.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
