Inadequate light will not produce flowers, so provide three to four hours of direct sunlight such as in a southern window exposure daily. Indoors, during summertime protect the plant from mid-day direct sunlight deterring sunburn. If placed outdoors during summer move to a bright semi-shaded area to protect from overly hot sun-drenched conditions when temperatures rise above 70 degrees. Remove faded foliage and flowers as needed.
