Growing and care guide
Growing Instructions
- 1
Plant in a well-draining potting mix and use a container with drainage holes if growing in a pot.
- 2
Provide at least six hours of direct sunlight daily for healthy growth and abundant flowering.
- 3
Keep outdoors in a sunny, sheltered location during warm weather, but protect from frost and freezing temperatures.
- 4
In Kashmir, move container-grown plants to a bright, protected, frost-free location before winter temperatures drop sharply.
- 5
Allow the soil to dry partially between waterings. Avoid excessive moisture, especially during cool weather.
- 6
Prune lightly after flowering or as needed to control growth, and wear gloves because the stems may have sharp thorns.
Care Instructions
Water thoroughly when the upper layer of soil has dried, allowing excess water to drain away.
Reduce watering during winter when growth slows, while preventing the root ball from remaining excessively wet.
Use a balanced or flowering-plant fertilizer according to the label during active growth, avoiding excessive nitrogen that encourages foliage over flowers.
Remove dead or damaged branches and trim overly long shoots to maintain the desired shape.
Inspect periodically for aphids, mealybugs, and scale insects, and maintain good airflow around the plant.
