Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot.
Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but do not allow the soil to dry out completely.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. This can be done anytime, but major pruning is best performed in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Pinch back tips to encourage bushier growth.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or from seeds sown in spring. Cuttings should be treated with rooting hormone and placed in a moist, well-draining medium.
Seeds require stratification before sowing for best germination.
Repot young plants annually or bi-annually, and mature plants every 2-3 years, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before the start of active growth. Water thoroughly after repotting.
