    • Soil Moisture iconSoil Moisture: Soil moisture icon Keep evenly moist during establishment; avoid waterlogging. Once established, allow the top 1 in of soil to dry between waterings (frequency varies by weather and container size).
    • Soil Type iconSoil Type: Soil type icon Well-drained loam enriched with compost; pH 6.0–7.5 suits most ornamentals. Improve heavy clay with organic matter and sharp drainage.

    • Fertilization iconFertilization: Fertilization icon In spring, top-dress with compost and apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Avoid excess nitrogen to prevent weak, floppy growth.
    • Special Care iconSpecial Care: Special care icon Stake taller stems if needed, monitor for pests (aphids, mites), and harden off gradually when moving from shade to full sun.
