⚠️ Important to know

Do not move! Once you've found a good spot for it - keep it there. Changing location may delay blooming. Do not prune flowers! New flowers grow from the same spurs - do not prune branches that have bloomed. Patience - the first bloom might take time, but once it starts, it blooms every year!

💡 Care tips

Fertilize every 2-4 weeks in spring-summer to encourage blooming. Fertilize aerial roots as well, not just the soil. Easy propagation - cut a branch with 2 leaves and root in water. Support - you can provide a string or trellis if you want it to climb. 🌸
