Flame NasturtiumTropaeolum pentaphyllum

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the growing season. Reduce watering significantly in winter, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to encourage dormancy.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Prune back faded flowers to encourage further blooming. After flowering, or in late winter/early spring before new growth starts, you can trim any overgrown or straggly stems to maintain a desired shape and encourage bushier growth.

Propagate by seed sown in spring, or by division of tubers in early spring. Seeds require warm conditions to germinate. Divisions should be allowed to dry for a day or two before replanting.

Repot every 2-3 years in spring, just as new growth begins. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
