Flowers are produced in large numbers all year round, as long as the plant receives sufficient light (never direct sun). It requires little care, it is very easy to take care of, even in an apartment or at home, but it gives great satisfaction. Rapidly growing and, despite the maximum expansion measures making it a medium-sized shrub, it can be contained very easily, with repeated pruning and without particular precautions. The plant regrows and branches without problems, continuing to flower.
Fertilize twice a year (early spring and early autumn) with pelleted manure.
