Pflegehinweise
Firebush requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth and should be placed in a location where it can receive at least six hours of sunlight daily. It prefers moderate temperatures and moderate humidity levels. Water the plant when the soil is almost completely dry, but avoid waterlogging.Boden
