After flowering for several months the plant may perform poorly. If so, restart it by cutting back to within 3 inches of the crown. Flowering occurs 3 weeks after exposure to short days. Over fertilization gives blue green foliage curled at the ends. If the soil mix has adequate drainage, flushing may wash out excess fertilizer.
Propagation is by seed or cuttings.
