💧 Watering

  • Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy

  • Water when top 1–2 cm of soil feels dry

  • In hot weather → may need watering daily


🌱 Soil

  • Use well-draining potting mix

  • Ideal mix: peat + perlite + compost

  • Good drainage = prevents root rot

  • Sensitive to frost ❄️

  • Protect during heavy rain or strong winds


🌸 Fertilizing

  • Feed every 1–2 weeks with liquid fertilizer

  • For a natural option:
    👉 banana peel water or rice water (boosts blooms)


✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

  • Deadhead faded flowers regularly

  • Trim leggy stems to encourage bushy growth

  • Pinch tips for fuller cascading shape


🐛 Common Issues

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering

  • Few flowers: Not enough sunlight

  • Sticky leaves: Aphids → rinse with mild soapy water
