Plant Details

Care Guide

Sunlight: Prefers full sun. At least 5–6 hours of direct sunlight daily for best flowering. Can tolerate partial shade but flowering may reduce.

Watering: Water moderately. Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering again. Drought-tolerant once established but performs best with consistent moisture.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. Add perlite or cocopeat to improve drainage. Avoid heavy clay soils.

Fertilizing: Apply balanced NPK (10-10-10) monthly. Use a phosphorus-rich bloom booster during active flowering to maximise colour and bloom count.

Pruning: Pinch back tips regularly to encourage bushy, compact growth and more flower buds. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering.

Pest & Disease Guide

Generally hardy and pest-resistant. Watch for aphids and whiteflies — treat with neem oil spray. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Mist leaves in dry weather to deter spider mites.
