Well-draining loamy soil; avoid overly rich soil to prevent excessive foliage at expense of flowers
Moderate watering; allow top layer of soil to dry between waterings, reduce in winter dormancy
Prefers full sun for maximum bloom production; tolerates partial shade in very hot climates
Low nitrogen fertilizer only during flowering period; excess nutrients promote leaf growth over blooms
Deadhead regularly to encourage continuous blooming; trim trailing vines for shape
These are the insects and pathogens that commonly interact with this plant, including pests, parasites, and organisms typically associated with its care.
