Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers very bright light and several hours of direct sunlight for abundant flowering. Indoors, place near a bright south- or west-facing window when possible.
- Water: Water thoroughly when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil moderately and consistently moist during active growth, but never waterlogged.
- Soil: Use a fertile, well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. Good drainage is essential for healthy roots.
- Humidity: Appreciates moderate to higher humidity, especially when grown indoors. Provide good air circulation around the foliage.
- Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions around 18–29°C. Protect from frost, cold drafts, and prolonged temperatures below approximately 10°C.
- Fertilizer: Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced or bloom-supporting fertilizer according to label directions. Reduce feeding during periods of slower growth.
- Maintenance: Remove spent flowers and monitor regularly for common pests such as spider mites, aphids, and whiteflies. Providing ample light encourages stronger growth and better flowering.
- Pruning: Prune or pinch back stems after flowering to encourage branching and maintain a compact, bushy shape.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded, preferably during spring. Choose a container with adequate drainage.
