Top dressing	Mineral, organic fertilizers not more than 1 time in 13 days.	Usually not used.
Pruning	In spring, cut the shoots to half their size, leaving at least 3 internodes so that the plant does not stop blooming.	Not carried out.

Rules and subtleties of plant transplantation

Jacobinia grows rapidly and needs to be transplanted every 2 years. Young need to be transplanted twice a year (in spring and summer). If the roots are shown from the holes at the bottom of the pot, then it is time to prepare a new container for the plant. It should be 10 cm in diameter larger than the previous one so that the root system feels comfortable. The substrate must be prepared from peat, humus, sand and compost. Potting soil can also be purchased at the store by adding perlite. Transplantation takes place in several stages:

Cover the bottom of the new tank with expanded clay or pebbles, add soil on top.
To get Jacobin, preliminary (in 30 minutes) to water.
In advance with a disinfected knife, remove 1 cm from each root.
Place the plant in a prepared pot. Spread the soil evenly by shaking the container 2 times.
Water, shade for 3 days.
After this period, the flower can be returned to its original place and resume ordinary care.

Seed cultivation and propagation by cuttings

To propagate Jacobin, you can use 2 methods: cuttings or seeds.

Justice seeds are small, black in color. Sowing period: February-April.

Prepare small containers with a substrate including peat and sand.
Lightly water the soil, plant seeds, sprinkled with soil.
Cover with polyethylene or film from above, creating greenhouse conditions.
Put in a well-lit place.
The air temperature should not go beyond + 22 ... +25 ° С.
Water as the soil dries, no more than 1 time per day.
Subject to all conditions, the sprouts should appear in 5-7 days.
When 3-4 leaves appear, transplant the Jacobin into a standard pot.

The second most effective and fastest method is vegetative in the spring:

Prepare a substrate based on humus and peat.
Using a disinfected knife, cut off the apical or lateral shoots.
The appendage should be at least 8 cm long, with 2 internodes.
Place the cuttings in separate containers, maintain the temperature + 18 ... +22 ° С.
When justice forms the root system (2-3 weeks), sprouts sprout in standard pots.
