Acidic peat-based potting mix (ericaceous), ensure drainage is excellent to prevent root rot.
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mist foliage regularly for humidity; reduce watering after flowering.
Bright indirect light or full sun in winter, avoid harsh summer heat indoors which causes leaf scorch.
Feed monthly during growing season with specific acidic fertilizer for ericaceous plants.
Prune lightly immediately after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushiness.
