Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your 24 plug plants, transfer them into small pots with quality compost. Keep these in a frost-free, well-lit environment such as a greenhouse or a sunny windowsill until the plants are strong and the risk of frost has completely passed. Once transitioned to their final outdoor location—be it a pot, window box, or ground border—ensure the soil remains fertile and well-drained. Regular watering is essential during the active blooming phase, particularly for containers which dry out faster than the ground. To prolong the flowering season, manually remove faded or dead flowers; this prevents seed set and encourages the plant to direct its energy into producing new buds.
