Acidic peat-based mix with perlite for drainage; avoid lime or alkaline substrates.
Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Use rainwater or distilled if possible due to pH sensitivity.
Filtered light or morning sun only. Protect from harsh midday heat to prevent leaf scorch.
Apply specialized acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring and late summer; avoid over-fertilizing.
Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape and remove dead wood; avoid heavy cutting on old wood.
