This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of peat, perlite, and compost works well. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 10-20-10. Fertilize every two weeks during the growing season to support its vigorous growth and flowering.Repotting
