🌿 Care Instructions:

☀️ Light:

Requires full sun, ideally receiving 6 or more hours of direct sunlight daily for healthy growth and abundant flowering. Gradually acclimate newly purchased plants to intense direct sunlight.

💧 Watering:

Water moderately during the early establishment stage, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Once established, Moss Rose becomes highly drought-tolerant thanks to its succulent foliage. Avoid excessive watering and waterlogged soil.

🪴 Soil:

Prefers light, sandy, well-draining soil and can thrive in relatively low-fertility conditions. Excellent drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

🌡️ Temperature:

Thrives in warm to hot climates and tolerates high temperatures under suitable growing conditions. Protect from frost and extreme cold.

🍃 Humidity:

Adapts well to dry conditions and does not require high humidity or regular leaf misting. Good air circulation is recommended.

🌱 Fertilizing:

Generally requires minimal fertilization. Apply a diluted, balanced fertilizer during the growing season if needed. Avoid excessive feeding, which may encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowering.

✂️ Pruning:

Trim long or overgrown stems as needed to maintain a neat appearance and encourage branching. Remove dry or damaged growth when necessary. Regular deadheading is generally unnecessary.

📏 Product Dimensions:
