Tips for Success:

• Use fertilizer only at the beginning of active growth.

• Water when soil surface appears dry and then thoroughly saturate the root ball.

• Give partial sun year-round.

• Give 30-40°F nighttime temperatures during the winter. Warm nights during the winter time will cause “bud blast.” Up to 59°F is okay.

• Give a slightly acidic soil between (soil ph between 4.8 - 5.8)

• Pinch back young cuttings to get full and bushy growth, although this discourages flowering early on.

• 1 tablespoon of Epsom Salts/ one gallon of water given twice a year supplies their magnesium requirements.
