Water regularly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Plectranthus fruticosus prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Reduce watering slightly in cooler months to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid issues.

Prune Plectranthus fruticosus regularly to maintain a bushy shape and encourage more flowers. Trim back leggy stems by about one-third to one-half.

Pruning can be done any time, but is most effective in spring before the main growth flush.

Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take 10-15 cm cuttings from healthy stems in spring or summer. Remove lower leaves and insert into moist potting mix. Roots will form within a few weeks in a warm location.

Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Repot in spring, just as new growth begins to emerge.
