The ideal pH range is 6.0 – 7.0.

Adding organic mulch around the base helps retain moisture and improves soil fertility over time.
💦 Watering Requirements
Water deeply but ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Check soil moisture before watering; water only when the top inch of soil is dry.
Reduce watering during monsoons and winter when the plant requires less moisture.
Avoid frequent misting as excessive humidity can cause fungal issues.
For potted plants, ensure that the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new blooms.
Remove dead or damaged branches to promote healthier growth.
Pinch back new growth for a bushy, fuller plant.
Train as a bonsai or let it grow into a lush shrub or tree.
