Watering should be consistent, especially during dry periods and when the plants are actively growing. Aim to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

For fertilization, a balanced slow-release fertilizer applied in early spring as new growth emerges, and again after flowering, will support healthy development and vibrant blooms.
