Essential Care Guide for Indian Climates
Sunlight and Location Needs
- Sunlight: Requires full and direct sunlight (at least 6 hours per day) for robust growth and optimal flower production. Planting in shade will significantly reduce blooming.
- Pruning: Responds well to annual pruning, which is recommended to encourage a dense, well-shaped bush and a heavier flush of blooms in the following season.
Watering and Soil
- Soil: Plant in well-draining, moderately fertile soil. Furush is tolerant of a variety of soil types but must be kept out of waterlogged conditions.
- Watering: Water regularly and deeply during the growing and blooming season, allowing the topsoil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during the cooler, dormant period.
