Growing and care guide
Growing Instructions
- 1
Grow in rich, well-draining potting mix and place in partial shade or gentle morning sun.
- 2
Enjoy the main flowering display from summer into autumn, provided the plant receives adequate light, water, and nutrients.
- 3
Protect from frost in Kashmir. Move the pot to a cool, frost-free location before freezing temperatures arrive.
- 4
During winter dormancy, reduce watering and keep the compost slightly moist rather than waterlogged.
- 5
Prune in early spring, removing dead growth and shortening stems as needed to encourage fresh, bushy growth.
Care Instructions
Check the compost regularly and water when the surface begins to dry; container plants may need daily watering during hot weather.
Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer during active growth according to the product label.
Remove spent flowers to encourage continued blooming and maintain a tidy appearance.
Ensure the pot has drainage holes and never leave the roots sitting in standing water.
Inspect for aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites, treating infestations promptly.
