💧 Growing conditions and care

• Light: prefers direct sunlight or very bright locations. For abundant flowering, it needs as much natural light as possible.
• Watering: requires regular watering, especially on hot days. The substrate should be kept slightly moist, but without excess standing water.
• Soil: prefers fertile, moist, organic-rich, well-drained soil.
• Fertilization: during the growing and flowering periods, fertilizer for flowering plants may be applied to support bud formation and the development of large flowers.
• Maintenance: individual flowers have a limited lifespan, but the plant can produce successive buds throughout the warm season.
• Overwintering: in autumn and winter, the above-ground part may partially or completely dry out; the plant remains viable at root level and resumes growth in spring.
• Frost resistance: down to approximately -15 / -20°C, under good conditions and with protection; when grown in a pot, it requires winter shelter because the roots are more exposed to freezing.

🌿 Recommended substrate

For container cultivation, a fertile, moist, well-drained substrate suitable for flowering plants is recommended. The mix should retain enough moisture to support flowering while allowing excess water to drain away. In large pots, a quality substrate enriched with organic matter helps the plant develop vigorous roots and better-supported flowers.
