It requires full sun for optimal flowering, at least 6 hours of direct light daily. Watering should be regular, keeping the substrate moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry periods. It prefers well-drained soil rich in organic matter. A common mistake is the lack of adequate support, which hinders its vertical growth and full floral display.
