How to keep Malva Durieui.
Light
Malva davaei is native to bright, open habitats where it does best in full sun. It can tolerate partial sun but favors direct sunlight for optimal growth. This annual or biennial plant is noted for its sun-loving nature.
Temperature
Malva davaei can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be limited by different combinations of water and heat conditions. It grows best in warm summer climates with sufficient rainfall or watering. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures can raise the likelihood of Malva davaei dying. In winter, protecting it from cold can improve its survival rate.
Fertilizer
When most of Malva davaei's blooms are fully opened, resume fertilizing. At the peak of flowering, feed every three to four weeks, weather permitting. Then, once Malva davaei begins producing fewer new blooms, stop fertilizing; there's no need to feed when the plant can no longer produce more flowers.
