Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during cooler months.
Adequate drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.
Prune to maintain desired shape and size, and to encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or leggy stems. Regular trimming also helps prevent it from becoming too aggressive in its spread. Prune in spring.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings and root them in water or moist potting mix. Cuttings root quickly, even in spring and summer. This is a simple method for increasing your plant collection.
Repot young plants annually or when root-bound, typically in spring. Mature plants can be repotted every 2-3 years. Choose a pot with drainage holes and fresh potting mix. This ensures adequate space for root growth.
