Filter by concern

Watering

Begin increasing water if new growth is observed. Still allow some drying between watering.

Repotting

Repot if needed before active growth resumes. Only repot if greenhouse or heat mats can maintain >55°F root zone.

Pruning

Begin structural pruning as light improves, but ensure overnight lows remain above 45°F.

Propagation

Take cuttings for propagation; root easily in sandy mix. Start cuttings only if indoor light and bottom heat are sufficient.
