Prefers full sun to bright light (at least 6 hours daily.

Thrives in direct sunlight, especially outdoors

Can tolerate light shade, but reduced sun may decrease blooming and cause leggier growth

Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings

Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away

Avoid overwatering, as consistently soggy soil can lead to root rot

Prefers moderate temperatures between 60–75°F

Can tolerate brief heat, but may struggle in prolonged extreme temperatures

Prefers average humidity levels and does not require additional humidity indoors

❌ Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested

May cause vomiting, lethargy, loss of appetite, or skin irritation

Keep out of reach of pets

Comes in a 6” terracotta pot

Prefers well-draining potting mix

Benefits from a light, slightly acidic to neutral soil

Repot when rootbound or if growth slows significantly

Grows 12–24 inches tall and 12–18 inches wide

Forms a bushy, mounded shape

Features thick stems and rounded, slightly scalloped leaves with clusters of vibrant blooms

Blooms from spring through fall with proper sunlight

Produces clusters of vibrant flowers in shades of red, pink, white, and coral

Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering

Pinch back leggy growth to maintain a full, bushy shape

Benefits from light fertilizing every 4–6 weeks during the growing season

Moderate to fast-growing during the active season

Reaches mature size within one growing season

Growth slows significantly in cooler temperatures or low light

Benefits from regular deadheading to encourage continued blooming

Pinch or trim back leggy stems to maintain a compact, bushy shape

Can be cut back more heavily in late summer to refresh growth

Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves as needed

Growth slows significantly in fall and winter

May stop blooming during cooler months

Reduce watering while dormant, allowing soil to dry more between waterings

Protect from frost, as plants are not cold hardy and can be damaged below 40°F

Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer

Reduce or stop fertilizing during winter dormancy

Over-fertilizing can cause lush foliage with fewer blooms
