Water
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 cooler months and in periods of dormancy.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

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 cooler months and in periods of dormancy.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or crossing branches. This encourages bushier growth and can improve flowering. Pinch back young shoots to promote a more compact form.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining, moist potting mix.
Keep in a warm, bright location and maintain humidity.
Repot every 2-3 years in spring, or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
This provides new nutrients and space for root development, promoting healthy growth.
