Do this when you get home
- Put it where the balcony or windowsill gets the most sun
- When the top of the soil is dry, water it through. In summer that may be every day.
Day to day
- Pinch off spent flowers along with the little green cup under them. It keeps blooming.
- If the stems get long and the middle goes bare, cut the whole plant back. It fills in with flowers again quickly.
- Water the soil. Wet petals rot easily.
Common questions
The stems keep getting longer and the flowers fewer?
Cut them back by half and give it one dose of flower food. In two or three weeks it's covered again.
