Key Growing Requirements Light: Full sun to partial shade (at least 6 hours of bright light daily).
Soil: Well-draining, rich, sandy-loam soil with a slightly acidic pH (5.5–6.5).
Watering: Moderate; allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Crown rot easily develops if the crown is buried or overwatered.
Temperature: Thrives in warm climates (15°C–24°C). Grown as an outdoor perennial in frost-free zones or as an annual/indoor potted plant in cooler regions.
