Planting Instructions:

• - Can be planted whenever nighttime temperatures consistently stay above 50°F

Soil Preparation:

• - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-6.5
• - Well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter

Watering Specifics:

• - Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged
• - Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting foliage

Fertilizer Type:

• - Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks during the growing season
• - Switch to a high-phosphorus fertilizer to encourage more blooms if needed

Pruning and Training:

• - Weekly, remove both the spent flower and its stem, snipping it back to where it connects with the main stem. Otherwise, the seed head will develop, and the plant will think it should slow down its flower production
• - Every 6 weeks, trim back the complete plant by 1/3

Additional Pest Management:

• - Watch for common pests like aphids and whiteflies
• - Monitor for fungal diseases in humid conditions or with overhead watering

Light Requirements:

• - Needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming
