Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially during cooler months.
Reduce watering significantly in winter when the plant is dormant.
Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Light pruning can be done in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged stems.
Avoid heavy pruning.
Propagate from seed sown in spring under glass or in a propagator. Cuttings can also be taken from semi-ripe shoots in summer and rooted in a well-drained, sandy compost. Seedlings may take some time to establish.
Repot annually or every two years in spring, particularly for young plants, to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a sandy loam or a mix formulated for alpines or succulents.
