Planting indoors.
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
To display its cascading habit perfectly, plant in a hanging basket. The plant needs bright light for a portion of the day, but not all day long. Avoid placing it in full sun. It should be grown in a room temperature of 21-27C for maximum bloom but will flower to a lesser degree in a temperature as low as 16C.
