Planting

From Early Spring TO Early Summer

For best effect, plant in a hanging basket somewhat larger than the container that your plant arrived in. Use a good multi-purpose houseplant compost and water well until established. Place the basket in a bright position out of direct sunlight and awy from drafts. To thrive, it needs to be kept in a temperature within the range of 15C - 30C in its active growth period.
