🔖 Care Tips

Aphids can easily appear, so it's good to regularly check the leaves and stems and use pesticides if found. The best time to plant seeds is from March to May. After planting, do not cover the seeds with soil or cover them lightly, and maintain a temperature of 18-22°C.

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

This plant is found worldwide but primarily grows in America. It thrives in warm, sunny locations.

🪨 Soil Mix

When planting in the yard, ensure proper drainage to prevent water pooling. It's important to plant in well-draining soil. A common mix is 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% humus. However, the ratio may vary depending on conditions and environment.

🌡️ Environment

The ideal temperature is 15-25°C. In summer, avoid direct sunlight by using a shade cloth or moving the plant to a shaded area. In winter, bring the plant indoors or grow it as an annual.

☀️ Light

Ensure the plant receives plenty of light. It can also tolerate direct sunlight well.

💧 Water

This plant thrives in slightly dry soil. Water it when the inner soil dries out. In summer, when it blooms, water it when the surface soil is dry. Be careful not to get water on the flowers, as they can easily be damaged.

🌱 Propagate

Use sterilized tools to cut the stem at an angle, dry for 3-4 hours, then propagate in soil or water. 1. For water propagation, avoid transparent containers. Place the stem in water, and once roots appear, add hydroponic fertilizer. When roots are 5-7 cm long, transfer to soil. 2. For soil propagation, plant deeply in soil without fertilizer. After propagation, avoid exposing to bright light. Gradually increase light exposure to help the plant adapt. Maintain high humidity and a temperature of 20-25°C. Alternatively, divide the plant every 2-3 years for propagation.

🪴 Repot

Repot in spring every 2-3 years.

💊 Fertilize

Use fertilizer at the recommended amount during spring to summer before the flowers bloom to encourage more vigorous growth.

🌺 Flower
