Planting & Care
When your starter plant arrives, water it thoroughly and allow it to acclimate to its new environment for a few days before repotting or transplanting. Choose a location with bright light and well-draining soil. If growing indoors, place near a sunny window and rotate the pot occasionally for even growth. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and promote bushiness. Protect from frost and cold drafts, as this tropical plant prefers warm, humid conditions.
