Growing Tips
Soak seeds for 24-48 hours in warm water before planting to enhance germination. Light mechanical scarification with sandpaper can be beneficial. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; use a heat mat to maintain temperatures between 70-80°F for optimal results. Provide bright, indirect light during germination. Seedlings are cold-sensitive when young; maintain temperatures above 21°C. Once established, fertilize regularly and prune to promote branching and flowering. The plant tolerates down to 5°C and flowers readily in containers.
