Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in winter. Ensure good drainage.
Prune to maintain shape and size, and to remove any dead or damaged stems. Light pruning can be done anytime, with heavier pruning in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Easily propagated from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Seeds can also be sown, but cuttings generally provide faster and more reliable results.
Repot young plants annually or every two years in spring. Mature plants can be repotted less frequently, only when root-bound, into a slightly larger container.
