Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top centimeter of soil feels dry to the touch.
Reduce watering slightly during cooler months, but never allow the soil to dry out completely. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove any dead or yellowing leaves. Pinch back leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.
This plant generally does not require heavy pruning, but can be trimmed to control its size and form.
Propagate via stem cuttings taken during the spring or summer. Select healthy stems, cut them just below a leaf node, and dip the cut end in rooting hormone. Plant in moist, well-draining potting mix and keep humid.
Repot every 1-2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Repotting is best done in spring before the active growing season begins.
