💧 Watering

• Keep the soil evenly moist, not soggy.

• Water deeply when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry.

• Reduce watering slightly during the dormant phase after flowering.
  💡 Tip: Avoid wetting the foliage to prevent fungal disease.

---

🌱 Soil

• Best: Well-draining, nutrient-rich soil.

• Ideal mix:

  • 1 part garden soil

  • 1 part cocopeat

  • 1 part compost or cow dung manure

  • Add a little sand for better drainage.

pH: slightly acidic to neutral (6.0–7.0).

---

🍽️ Fertilizer

• During growth (spring to flowering): Feed every 15–20 days.

• Use a balanced fertilizer (NPK 10:10:10) or organic manure.

• Once buds appear, switch to high-phosphorus feed (e.g., NPK 5:10:10) for better flowering.

---

✂️ Pruning & Pinching

• Pinch off the top 2–3 cm of new growth when the plant is about 15 cm tall.
  👉 Encourages branching and bushy shape.

• Remove old flowers regularly (deadheading) to promote continuous blooming.

• Cut back stems after flowering season to prepare for next year’s growth.

---

🌸 Blooming Time

• Usually blooms from October to February in India.

• Needs shorter daylight hours and cool temperatures to initiate flowers.

---

🪴 Repotting

• Repot yearly after flowering — around early spring.

• Use fresh soil and trim roots slightly before replanting.

---

🌿 Propagation

• Easily propagated by stem cuttings or root division.

• Take softwood cuttings (8–10 cm long) in early spring.

• Root them in moist soil or cocopeat; they’ll root within 10–15 days.
