Growing Conditions:

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, with at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining, rich, and slightly acidic soil with a pH of 5.5–6.5. Avoid heavy, waterlogged soils.
• Watering: Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues.
• Temperature: Best suited for mild climates; grows well in temperatures between 15–25°C. Protect from frost.
• Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2–3 weeks to encourage continuous blooming. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it may lead to excessive foliage growth.
• Pruning: Regularly deadhead spent flowers to encourage new blooms. Lightly trim back stems in midsummer if the plant becomes leggy.
• Spacing: Space plants 20–30 cm apart for proper air circulation and growth.
• Propagation: Propagate through stem cuttings or purchase young plants, as seeds may not grow true to type.
