Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or leggy growth. Pinch back stems to encourage bushier growth and more flowers. Can be trimmed back hard if it becomes overgrown.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Division of established clumps is also an effective method. Seeds can be sown in spring.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently. Use a well-draining potting mix.
