Care Guide

• Always place in the brightest spot possible; insufficient sunlight will cause the flower buds to stay closed.

• Water sparingly and only at the base; soggy soil or sitting water can quickly lead to root rot.

• Snip off spent flower stems at the base (deadheading) to continuously trigger the growth of new buds.

• Plant in a lightweight, sandy or gritty potting mix that lets excess water drain away instantly.
