Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, or to remove any dead or damaged foliage. Light pruning can be done at any time of the year. For more significant shaping, prune in early spring before new growth begins.
Use clean, sharp pruning tools.
Propagate through stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy stems and plant them in a moist, well-draining potting mix. Rooting hormone can be used to encourage faster root development.
Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot one size larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost.
Repot in spring, just as new growth begins.
