Cultivating Your 'Sunset Passion': Simple Steps to Stunning Blooms

In the South African climate, 'Sunset Passion' thrives with just a little attention:

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during its active growing and flowering periods. Reduce watering as it enters dormancy in late autumn.

• Sunlight: Give your 'Sunset Passion' plenty of bright, indirect light or morning sun. In the scorching South African summer, protect it from intense afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.

• Soil: It loves well-draining, rich soil. A good quality potting mix or garden soil amended with compost works wonders.

• Feeding: A balanced liquid fertiliser every few weeks during the growing season will encourage abundant blooms.
