Growing in a hanging basket
Use a free-draining potting mix. Water thoroughly when needed, then let excess water escape; never leave roots standing in water.
Use a container with drainage and a secure support rated for its fully watered weight. Check moisture at the root ball and empty collected drainage water.

Your care routine
Watering
Water when the surface begins to dry; soak, then let excess drain.
Soil & drainage
Slightly acidic, well-drained potting mix; avoid waterlogged or strongly alkaline growing media.
Fertilizer
Use balanced liquid flower fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during active growth at the label rate; account for any slow-release fertilizer already in the mix.
Temperature
Best in mild to warm growing weather; tender new growth should be planted after frost risk passes.
Humidity
Outdoor humidity is suitable; allow airflow and avoid prolonged wet foliage.
Through the seasons
In Metro Vancouver, protect from frost and prolonged winter rain; seasonal display does not imply winter hardiness. Confirm cultivar hardiness before leaving outdoors.
When your plant needs help
- Yellowing in unsuitable high-pH compost
- root rot in saturated pots
