    What you'll need

    • Organic potting soil (tanah organik)
    • Flowering fertiliser

    All available here at the nursery.

Something wrong?

  • Wilting in the afternoon

    Too dry or too sunny. Water it and move it into shade.

  • Rotting stems

    Too wet and crowded. Let the top dry a little and give it space.
