Key traits and growing stats from plant data
Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Ensure good drainage.
Prune to maintain shape and remove any dead or leggy growth. Pinch back stems to encourage bushier growth. This helps keep the plant compact and attractive.
Easily propagated from division of tubers or by stem cuttings. Seeds can also be sown in spring. Cuttings root readily in moist soil or water.
Repot every 1-2 years in spring when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix. This revitalizes the plant and provides new nutrients.
