Caring Tips:-

1. Light: Plant it in well-draining soil in a sunny or partially shaded location.
2. Watering: When the top inch of soil seems dry to the touch, water the plant. Maintain appropriate drainage in the pot to avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot.
3. Soil: Use well-draining soil that retains some moisture but doesn’t become waterlogged. A mix of potting soil and perlite works well.

1. Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the dormant period (fall and winter).
2. Pruning: To encourage a bushier shape, cut back on lanky or unhealthy growth. Pruning after blooming might encourage new growth and additional flowers.
