Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent the soil from becoming bone dry.
Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, as this plant dislikes constantly wet conditions.
Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches. This encourages bushier growth and can improve air circulation.
Pinching back young shoots can also promote a more compact, desirable form.
Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep moist and warm, and roots should form within several weeks.
Can also be grown from seed.
Repot young plants annually in spring, moving them to a pot one size larger. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years or when root-bound.
Use a well-draining potting mix, and ensure the new pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
