Fertilizer: Feed with an acidic, slow-release fertilizer every 2-3 months during the growing season to encourage lush growth and prolific blooming.
Pruning: Light pruning after the flowering period helps maintain its shape and promotes bushier growth. Remove any dead or diseased stems to encourage healthy development.
