How to keep Azanza Lampas.
Light
Common mallow is native to open habitats, like sunny meadows and forest edges, that receive plentiful light. It thrives in Full Sun but can also tolerate Partial Sun, adjusting well to different light conditions.
Temperature
Common mallow originates from temperate regions where temperatures usually range from 68 to 105.8 °F (20 to 41 ℃). It flourishes in warm conditions, and less favorable temperatures can inhibit its growth. When necessary, seasonal adjustments should aim to keep temperatures within this range.
Fertilizer
The ideal time to fertilize Common mallow is in early spring as it comes out of dormancy. This encourages overall growth and flower development. Fertilization improves the foliage, stems, and branches, and promotes flowers that are larger, more vibrant, and longer-lasting. It helps move nutrients from the roots to the flowers and enhances the plant's health and resistance to disease.
