How to Care for the Plant

Water
Medium water needs.
Pruning
Deadheading as you go will prolong your senetti’s flowering period throughout the summer and lengthen the overall life of the plant. Faded flowers should be cut to approximately 6 inches and feed it liquid potash based food. This promotes healthy leaf and stem growth and flowering meaning you can replace your faded flower heads.
Fertilizer
Need to be fed every two weeks with tomato or all-purpose feed.
