Care tips
It prefers full sun to light partial shade for optimal flowering. Moderate watering is required, allowing the substrate to dry slightly between waterings, and it tolerates poor to moderately fertile, well-drained soils. Avoid excessive moisture in the substrate, as it can lead to root rot, especially in winter.
