Highly acidic peat-based mix (ericaceous), excellent drainage required to prevent root rot.
Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Use rainwater or soft water if possible.
Prefers filtered light or partial shade; direct hot sun will scorch foliage and inhibit flowering.
Apply acid-loving plant fertilizer in spring before blooming, avoid high lime content.
Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape and remove dead wood.
