Help me grow!

• I thrive under full and direct sunlight, though I can tolerate partial shade as well.
• Water me regularly and thoroughly. Ensure my soil is consistently moist but not soaking wet.
• Organically enriched and fertile, well-drained acidic soil is the best for optimum growth and blooms.
• Prune me occasionally to maintain my shape and encourage flowering. Remove withered flowers and dried leaves.
• Re-pot into bigger containers once every two years.
• I need a humid and warm temperature to grow and flourish. Mist my leaves regularly or place a humidifier close by to maintain optimum levels of humidity.
• Avoid placing me near windows that let in cold draughts or under air conditioners.

FAQs

   Spider mites and aphids are common pests that are more of a nuisance than a serious threat. Use insecticidal sprays to combat them effectively.
   
   
2. Does the plant require fertilizers?
   Feed me with balanced water-soluble fertilizers at least once every two weeks in spring and summer. Slow-release fertilizer pellets are a good option too.
