Care and Maintenance: Cultivating Beauty with Ease

• Sun Exposure: Plant 'Passion' in a location that receives partial to full shade, protecting it from intense sunlight. While it can tolerate some morning sun, it thrives in dappled shade or filtered light for optimal growth and foliage coloration.

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season and periods of drought. Water 'Passion' deeply and regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering sessions.
• Pruning: Prune 'Passion' in late spring or early summer after flowering to maintain its desired shape and size. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to improve air circulation and overall plant health.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants in spring before new growth emerges. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it can lead to nutrient imbalances and foliage burn.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark or compost, around the base of 'Passion' to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and insulate the roots against temperature fluctuations.
