    • Light: Prefers partial to full shade. Some morning sun is beneficial, but it should be protected from harsh afternoon heat to prevent stress and fading blooms.

    • Soil: Requires well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Adding organic matter such as compost improves moisture retention and aeration.

    • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Hanging baskets and containers may need more frequent watering, especially in warm weather.

    • Temperature: Grows best in cool to moderate temperatures (50-70°F or 10-21°C). It is not frost-hardy, so in colder climates, bring indoors or provide winter protection. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat.

    • Fertilizing: Feed every 2-3 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring to early fall) to encourage continuous blooming and healthy foliage. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

    • Pruning: Regular deadheading promotes more blooms and extends the flowering season. Light pruning throughout the season maintains a tidy shape, while a more thorough trim in early spring encourages new, bushy growth.

    • Pests and Diseases: Susceptible to aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Ensure good air circulation and avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases like powdery mildew and botrytis.

    • Propagation: Easily propagated from softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Place cuttings in a well-draining medium, keep them moist, and provide warmth and humidity until they root.
