Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to keep the soil from becoming bone dry.
Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.
Prune to shape and maintain desired size, typically in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches.
Light pruning can be done after flowering to encourage bushier growth.
Propagate from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining potting mix, keeping them consistently moist and warm. Use a rooting hormone to improve success rates.
Patience is key for establishment.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring when the plant is root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil, perlite, and sand.
Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering.
