Care & Maintenance

• Light: Position in an area with abundant bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid harsh direct afternoon rays to prevent scorching the petals and leaves.
• Watering: Water thoroughly at the base when the top layer of potting soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid splashing water onto the leaves or flower buds to prevent fungal spotting.
• Feeding: Apply a diluted, water-soluble flowering plant fertiliser every two to three weeks during the active blooming period.
• Grooming: Gently pinch off spent blossoms and yellowing leaves to encourage fresh flower production and keep the plant neat and healthy.
