Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter to prevent waterlogging. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot, especially in cooler months.
Adjust frequency based on environmental conditions.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Use clean, sharp pruning shears.
Avoid heavy pruning, as this can impact flowering in the subsequent season. Early spring is an ideal time.
Propagation is typically done by semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip the cut ends in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining medium.
Maintain high humidity and consistent warmth to encourage root development. Patience is key for successful rooting.
Repot young plants annually in spring, and mature plants every 2-3 years or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one.
Water thoroughly after repotting to settle the soil.
