Light:

Partial sun (east or west exposure).  Some direct sunlight is beneficial however direct midday sun is too strong for best growth.

Temperature:

Maintain temperatures above 60 degrees; they will tolerate cooler temperatures but they become more susceptible to diseases.

Humidity:

Preferably 50% or higher; however, they will tolerate low levels with no harm.

Watering:

Bringing a little dryness to the surface of the soil before water is helpful; however, they do not mind even moisture.

Fertilizer:

Fertilize sparingly; they can be hurt by too much fertilizer. ¼ strength every two months is adequate. Repot once the plant has completely filled the pot.

Pruning:

Only prune off old stems once they have finished flowering and look unsightly.  When plants gets too large divide them; this can be done at any time.

Insects and Disease:

Some susceptibility to mealy bug.

Comments

Burbidgeas are excellent potted plants, bringing a burst of color twice a year.  They are easy to grow, being only sensitive to excess fertilization.
