Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water Turnera lineata thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering during cooler months when the plant's growth slows.
Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.
Prune Turnera lineata to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Trim back leggy stems in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove any dead or damaged branches at any time of the year.
Propagate Turnera lineata from stem cuttings taken in spring or early summer. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots, cut them to 10-15 cm, and dip the ends in rooting hormone.
Plant in well-draining potting mix and keep moist.
Repot Turnera lineata every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is one size larger than the current one and fresh, well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
