🌿 Planting & Care Guide

☀️ Sunlight Requirements:

Prefers partial sun, with morning sunlight and afternoon shade in hot climates.

Avoid full shade as it reduces blooming frequency.

🌱 Soil & Potting:

Grows best in rich, well-drained soil (loamy, sandy, or clay with organic compost).

Can be grown in 12-inch containers, grow bags, or directly in garden beds.

Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Adding mulch helps retain moisture and regulate temperature.

💦 Watering Tips:

Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

In hot summer months, water once a day.

Reduce watering in winter and rainy seasons.

Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal infections.

Use a self-watering pot for easy maintenance in urban gardens.

🌡️ Temperature:

Ideal growing conditions are temperatures between 15–30°C.

Protect from frost and excessive summer heat.

If temperatures exceed 35°C, relocate to a shaded area.

🌿 Fertilisation & Pruning:

Feed with organic fertilisers such as vermicompost, fish amino acids, and seaweed extract for healthy growth and vibrant blooms.

Use liquid or water-soluble fertiliser every 2-4 weeks during the growing season.

Prune in early spring to remove dead branches and promote bushy growth.

Regularly pinch out soft growing tips to encourage more blooms.

Deadheading spent flowers encourages more flowering.

Supports bonsai pruning techniques for a miniature aesthetic.
