Planting & Care

These unrooted cuttings require propagation before planting in the garden. To root, trim the cut end just below a leaf node and remove lower leaves. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone (optional) and insert into a well-draining rooting medium such as perlite or a seed-starting mix. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright, indirect light. Maintain high humidity by covering with a plastic dome or bag, opening occasionally for air circulation. Roots typically form within 2-4 weeks.

Once rooted, transplant into individual pots and gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions. Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. In cooler climates, bring plants indoors before frost or treat as annuals.
