Troubleshooting
The plant is not producing flowers

Yellowing leaves during the growing season
This often indicates waterlogging; ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes and that the soil is not overly compacted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your 3-litre pots, ensure the plants are placed in a location receiving full sun for the best blooming performance. Plant in well-draining soil or a high-quality multipurpose compost to prevent root rot. While they are resilient, they are half-hardy, meaning you must bring containers into a greenhouse or a sheltered shed if temperatures reach freezing. During the active growing season, water regularly and feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage strong growth. During the dormant winter phase, keep the plants relatively dry to encourage the necessary rest period before spring growth begins.
