Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, plant your pots in soil that has been enriched with organic compost to provide the necessary fertility. When transitioning from the included 9cm pots to their permanent home, dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, ensuring the plant sits at the same depth it occupied in the nursery pot. Water thoroughly immediately after planting. In terms of care, consistent watering is the most critical factor—never allow the soil to dry out completely. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer once every two weeks during the height of the flowering season to encourage repeat blooming. In late autumn, prune back the spent spikes to ground level to prepare the crown for winter dormancy.
