Acidic, well-draining sandy loam or peat mix, free of lime and heavy clay; high drainage critical.
Water deeply but infrequently to prevent root rot; keep soil moist but never waterlogged during growth.
Full sun required for best flowering; indoors requires brightest possible window south-facing.
Low phosphorus fertilizer in spring only; sensitive to salt accumulation, avoid over-fertilizing.
Prune lightly after flowering to remove dead flower heads and shape plant; avoid cutting into old wood.
