Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain away. Reduce watering frequency during winter months when growth slows.
Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Trim back leggy stems to promote new shoots. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves promptly to keep the plant healthy and attractive.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take cuttings of about 5-10 cm, remove lower leaves, and plant in moist potting mix or water. Roots typically form within a few weeks.
Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Spring is the ideal time for repotting.
