    • Light: Prefers partial to full shade. Morning sunlight is beneficial, but avoid intense afternoon heat, which can cause wilting.

    • Soil: Grows best in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Adding compost or organic matter enhances soil fertility and moisture retention.

    • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring even moisture in containers and hanging baskets.

    • Temperature: Thrives in cool to moderate temperatures (50-70°F or 10-21°C). Not frost-hardy, so in colder climates, bring indoors or provide protection during winter. Avoid excessive heat and drying winds.

    • Fertilizing: Feed every 2-3 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring to early fall) to promote continuous flowering. Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.

    • Pruning: Regular deadheading extends the blooming period. Light pruning throughout the season helps maintain a compact, bushy shape, while a more substantial trim in early spring encourages fresh, vigorous growth.

    • Pests and Diseases: Susceptible to common pests like aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil for treatment. 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. Keep cuttings in a moist, well-draining medium and provide warmth and humidity until they root.
