- Enrich soil with compost and a balanced fertilizer to enhance growth and bloom production

Watering Specifics:

- Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods
- Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot, particularly in poorly drained soils

Fertilizer Type:

- Feed with a balanced fertilizer monthly during the growing season until early August to promote vigorous growth and prolific blooming
- Cease fertilization in late summer to prepare plants for dormancy

- Pinch back tips through early July to encourage bushiness and more blooms

Healthy Cheerleader Mum Already Growing

GrowJoy packs their plants perfectly. The unique packing container keeps both the root ball and top growth safe. My plants arrived in great shape, not dried out and are thriving in the garden. I would recommend GrowJoy and I plan on ordering from them again.

Cheerleader Mum that you must have!!!

Recommend to everyone. Bought 5 plants last year. Was just in awe of each of them. Despite the extremely cold winter all of them are willing to please this year. Now I have 12 and looking forward to Autumn(Though one of them has all the buds and starts to bloom now, June 11th) As for the service and delivered plants- all just fine.
