Care Guide

Seed Starting

Sow surface seeds (do not bury) on moist seed-starting mix. Keep humid with dome until germination at 21-24°C.

Transplanting

Move to containers or beds in October-December once seedlings have 4-6 true leaves.

Watering

Water when topsoil dries; avoid waterlogged soil which causes root rot.

Feeding

Weekly liquid feed during peak bloom. High-potassium formulas boost flowering.

Deadheading

Remove spent blooms regularly to extend the flowering season.
