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 between waterings, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot.
Ensure good drainage to avoid soggy conditions.
Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or damaged stems, and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back young plants to promote branching. Regular pruning can also improve air circulation and prevent disease.
Prune lightly after flowering.
Propagate from seeds sown in spring or from stem cuttings taken during the summer. Seeds may require stratification or scarification.
Cuttings root relatively easily in moist, well-draining potting mix under humid conditions.
Repot annually or when the plant becomes root-bound, typically in spring. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.
Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
