How to keep Bidens Andicola.

Light

Bidens andicola comes from bright, open habitats where it does best in full sun. It can tolerate some partial shade, but it favors direct sunlight for optimal growth. This plant, which can be annual or biennial, is known for its sun-loving nature.

Fertilizer

Once Bidens andicola has opened most of its flowers to full size, resume fertilizing. When the blooms are at peak production, fertilize every three to four weeks, weather permitting. Then, once Bidens andicola begins producing fewer new blooms, stop fertilizing; there's no reason to feed the plant when it can no longer produce more blooms.
