🌿 Care Instructions:

☀️ Light:

Prefers full sun, ideally receiving 6 or more hours of direct sunlight daily for healthy growth and abundant flowering. In extremely hot climates, light afternoon shade can help reduce heat stress.

💧 Watering:

Water regularly, allowing the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Maintain moderate soil moisture without waterlogging, and monitor watering needs more frequently during hot, dry periods.

🪴 Soil:

Prefers moderately fertile, well-draining soil and grows well in sandy or loamy conditions. Avoid heavy soil that retains excessive moisture.

🌡️ Temperature:

Grows well in warm, sunny conditions but may experience stress during extreme summer heat. Mild growing seasons are generally more suitable in very hot regions. Protect from frost and severe cold.

🍃 Humidity:

Adapts to moderate humidity levels. Ensure good air circulation between plants and avoid keeping the foliage and flowers wet for extended periods to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.

🌱 Fertilizing:

Generally requires minimal fertilization when grown in suitable soil. Apply a diluted, balanced fertilizer during the growing season if needed, following the product instructions. Avoid excessive feeding, which may encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowers.

✂️ Pruning:

Regularly remove faded or dried flowers to maintain a neat appearance and encourage additional blooms. Remove damaged leaves or stems as needed.
