Plant Care🪴
Sunlight ☀️:
At least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Place it in a bright, sunny spot—the more sun, the better the blooms.
Watering 💧:
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Overwatering can cause root rot. Water once every 4-7days in summer, less in cooler months.
Reduce watering in winter (dormant period).
Fertilizer🍀:Feed every 2–4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength or a low-nitrogen fertilizer to encourage blooming.
Pruning🌿:Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage branching.
Remove dead or damaged branches.
