🌱 Care Tips:

Fertiliser:
Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertiliser to encourage flowering and lush foliage.

Growth Habit:
A trailing or arching plant with wing-shaped leaves and clusters of coral-red flowers. Can be trained in hanging baskets or grown upright in pots.
