Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water moderately during the growing season, ensuring good drainage. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems. Avoid heavy pruning, as it may stimulate less flowering.
Easily propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in summer. Root cuttings in a well-draining medium. Can also be grown from seed, sown in spring.
Repot container-grown plants every 2-3 years in spring, or when root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
