Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water consistently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, especially in cooler months. Reduce watering frequency during winter dormancy to prevent root rot.
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or weak stems at any time. Light pruning can be done in early spring before new growth emerges.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer or autumn. Root cuttings in a well-draining medium, such as a mix of peat and perlite, in a warm environment.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when root-bound. Use a fast-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one to avoid overwatering issues.
