🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Deep soakings are recommended, providing about 2 inches of water per week; avoid overhead watering to prevent disease.
Fertilizer
Use an all-purpose garden fertilizer with balanced N-P-K to support growth before and throughout the blooming cycle.
Pruning
Avoid deep pruning during the rainy season or while the plant is small; remove faded flowers and one leaf below the flower. Perform deep pruning to shape the canopy only once the plant is large and well-developed.
Pests & Diseases
Susceptible to black stem, spider mites, aphids, black spot, and powdery mildew.
