💧 Watering
Water deeply but only when the soil is completely dry.

In summer: once every 7–10 days.

🌡 ✅Temperature
Thrives in warm climates (20–35°C).

Protect from frost — bring indoors during cold months.

🌿 Soil
Use well-draining soil (cactus/succulent mix or sandy loam).

Avoid heavy clay that holds too much water.

🌸 Fertilizer
During the growing season (spring–summer), feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks.

Reduce feeding in autumn, stop in winter.

✂✅ Pruning
Prune after flowering to encourage branching and more blooms.

Remove dead or weak branches to maintain shape.

⚠ ❌Common Issues
Overwatering → root rot.

Lack of sun → fewer blooms.

Aphids or mealybugs → treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
