Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in cooler months. Ensure good drainage to prevent standing water.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or crossing branches. Pinch back new growth tips to promote a more compact form if desired.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Use a rooting hormone to improve success rates.
Plant cuttings in moist, well-draining potting mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment until roots form.
Repot every 2-3 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repotting is best done in spring before new growth begins. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.
