Plant Care Instructions

Light Requirements:

Grows best in partial shade to bright, indirect light. While it tolerates morning sun, avoid harsh afternoon rays that can scorch the foliage. Ideal for shaded patios, garden beds, and containers.

Watering:

Maintain even moisture in the soil—water when the top inch feels dry. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely or become waterlogged. Ensure containers have proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Soil:

Prefers a light, well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A peat-based mix with added perlite or coarse sand provides ideal conditions.

Temperature & Humidity:

Thrives in temperatures between 15°C and 24°C (59°F to 75°F). Not frost-tolerant. Enjoys moderate to high humidity—ideal for summer growing conditions or greenhouse environments.

Fertilizing:

Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during the active growing season (spring through early fall). Pause feeding in winter or when dormant.

Pruning & Maintenance:

Remove spent blooms and faded leaves regularly to encourage continued flowering and maintain a neat appearance.

Pests & Problems:

Susceptible to aphids, mealybugs, and fungal diseases like powdery mildew. Avoid overhead watering and promote good air circulation.

Winter Care:

In colder climates, dig up and store tubers in a cool, dry place before frost hits. Replant in spring after the last frost date for renewed growth and blooms.
