Pre-purchase considerations

  • How it’s sold: Buying an established plant gives the fastest, most reliable start; growing from seed is possible but slower and less predictable.
  • Planting window: Plant in spring in colder climate and all the year in tropic so roots establish in the right conditions.
  • Climate fit: Suited to warm, frost-free gardens (zone 11+); in cooler areas grow it in a movable container.

Growing tips before you buy

  • Cold protection: Frost will damage it — keep it under cover or move potted plants indoors when nights turn cold.
  • Space & siting: Allow for a mature size of about 4–10 m (13–33 ft); give it room to reach full size or choose a compact spot/pot.
  • Light mapping: Match your site to its needs — full sun. Give the brighter end for the best flowering.
  • Soil readiness: Prepare well-draining loam soil before planting; moist but never waterlogged.

Cultivation & care standards

  • Potting & planting: Plant into well-draining loam soil in the ground or a container with good drainage holes.
  • Watering: Keep consistently moist in growth. Don’t let it dry out during active growth.
  • Light: Position in full sun for healthy growth.
  • Feeding: Feed through the growing season with a balanced fertilizer to support steady growth.
  • Upkeep: Prune lightly to shape after flowering and remove any dead or crossing stems.
