Feed: Use a high potash feed monthly from spring to autumn. Dibleys fertiliser tablets are ideal.
Temperature: Keep above 10°C year-round. Reduce watering in winter.
Flowering: Most varieties bloom from April to late autumn. Crystal Series may flower all year.
Repotting: Repot annually in spring into a slightly larger, shallow pot with free-draining compost.
