In low light, flowering reduces. �� Watering Keep soil moist but never waterlogged. Water when the top layer feels dry. Avoid watering directly on flowers — causes rot or fungal spots. ��️ Temperature Ideal temperature: 18–30°C. Double blooms are delicate — protect from heavy rain and strong winds. �� Soil Needs well-draining and nutrient-rich soil. Best mix: Garden soil Compost Cocopeat Perlite/sand for drainage ��️ Fertilizer Feed every 10–12 days with: Balanced NPK (19:19:19) OR a bloom booster fertilizer (15:30:15) during peak blooming. Add organic compost monthly. ✂️ Pruning & Maintenance Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooms. Pinch back leggy stems for a bushier plant. Remove damaged or yellow leaves regularly. �� Humidity Moderate humidity is ideal. Too much moisture can damage the petals. �� Propagation Grows well from seeds and soft-stem cuttings. Seeds are tiny — press lightly on soil, do not bury deep. �� Common Problems Flower rot → caused by overhead watering. Fungal issues → ensure good airflow. Leggy growth → not enough sunlight
