How to keep Fumana Arabica.
Light
Mediterranean rockrose comes from open habitats, such as sunny meadows and forest edges, which provide abundant light. It does best in Full Sun but will also tolerate Partial Sun, adapting well to various sunlight conditions.
Temperature
Mediterranean rockrose has strong adaptability to temperature, able to withstand higher heat and considerable temperature fluctuations. In hot weather, attention should be paid to irrigation and providing some shade to avoid sunburn. By contrast, its resistance to low temperatures is relatively limited. It can tolerate mild cold, but excessively low temperatures can cause frost damage.
Fertilizer
To encourage healthy growth, feed your Mediterranean rockrose in early spring. Routine fertilization improves overall vigor, producing strong growth, increased tolerance of harsh conditions, and enhanced resistance to disease and pests. Keep to a defined fertilizing routine for your Mediterranean rockrose to maintain foliage that is richly colored and luxuriant in appearance.
