• Light Requirements : ☀️ Prefers partial shade to filtered sunlight. Too much direct sun may fade or burn the leaves.
• Temperature : 🌡️ Best grown in 18–30°C (65–86°F); not frost-tolerant — protect from cold below 10°C (50°F).
• Soil Type : 🌱 Rich, well-draining soil with a pH of 5.5–6.5. Mix in compost or peat for best results.
• Watering : 💧 Keep soil evenly moist during the growing season but avoid waterlogging. Allow topsoil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Growth Habit : 🌿 Grows 12–24 inches tall. Excellent for ground cover, pots, or mixed container gardens.

1. Sow Indoors or Outdoors: Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly when soil is warm.

2. Germination: 14–28 days in moist, warm soil (around 22–28°C / 72–82°F).

3. Transplanting: When seedlings have true leaves, transplant to pots or garden beds with indirect light.

4. Fertilizing: Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks for healthy foliage and color.

5. Dormancy: In cooler climates, plants may enter dormancy. Store bulbs indoors if overwintering.
