Acidic, peat-based mix with high organic content; ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use rainwater or filtered water to prevent chlorosis from lime.
Bright indirect light is ideal; avoid scorching midday sun which scorches leaves and causes bud drop.
Apply acid-specific fertilizer every 2 weeks during active growth (Spring/Summer); reduce in autumn/winter.
Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape; remove spent blooms and yellowing leaves immediately.
