Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Prefers bright light or full sun; Can tolerate partial shade but will result in less flowers. It needs a well-drained, loamy soil, moderately moist and will require regular watering in hot climates. In temperate climates, it is best planted in a container as a houseplant or, can be planted in a heated greenhouse or conservatory. Not easy to propagate thus young plants should be sourced.
