Watering

Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging.

Light

Bright, indirect light but can handle some shade, especially in the intense summer sun.

Soil

Well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic material, maintaining a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.

Additional Tips

Regularly remove spent blooms and consider mulching to retain soil moisture and prevent weed growth.
