Place this plant in a full sun (6-8 hours) to part sun (4-6 hours) spot in your garden or containers.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Do not let this plant dry out.

Average to low humidity is fine for this plant.

When indoors, place it near a window where it can get full bright light. Temps higher than 85°F will stop buds from forming.

This plant can tolerate temps to 35°F but will stop budding and flowering when hot temperatures in the summer reach 85°F.

Fertilize when watering monthly in the spring and summer with a water-soluable fertilizer high in phosphorus to encourage blooms.

Outdoors: Dig a hole twice the width of the grower pot and slightly shorter in depth. Add root hormone and mix in compost if your soil is unhealthy or clay (half compost-half native soil). Water the bare roots in the hole, then fill with the mixed soil. Tamp around the plant to release all air pockets. Water again. Keep watch and measure your soil moisture every couple of days to ensure the roots are moist but not soggy. Plant in full (6-8 hours) or part sun (4-6 hours).

Once the first bloom cycle ends, cut the plant back by half to promote a new gorgeous flush within six weeks. Don't forget to fertilize to help reblooming!
