Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Allow excess water to drain completely to prevent root rot.
Reduce watering frequency during winter dormancy, allowing the soil to dry out more between waterings. Consistent moisture is key during the growing season.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged stems. This can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Pinching back the tips of young stems encourages bushier growth. Remove any invasive or overgrown tendrils.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings or tubers. Cuttings can be taken in spring or summer and rooted in moist potting mix or water. Tubers can be divided and replanted.
Ensure cuttings have at least one node before planting.
Repot every 1-2 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid waterlogged soil.
Gently loosen the root ball before placing it in the new container.
