Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season, but avoid waterlogging. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Reduce watering in autumn and winter, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Lightly trim back leggy stems in spring. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches at any time of the year. Pruning can help stimulate new growth and flowering.
Propagate Argomuellera macrophylla from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or early autumn. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining potting mix.
Keep the cuttings moist and warm until roots develop.
Repot your Undershrub big-leaf plant every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Repot in early spring before new growth begins for best results.
