Cultivation Methods
 - Soil: It is important to select well-draining soil. If possible, sandy soil is preferable.
 - Sunlight: It must be grown in a sunny location; while it can grow in partial shade, the number of flowers may decrease.

Important Pests and Control Methods
- Diseases: While generally resistant to disease, root rot may occur if the soil becomes waterlogged. Pay attention to drainage, and fungicides can be used if necessary.
- Pests: Aphids or snails may appear. It is recommended to use pesticides or physically remove them immediately upon detection. You can also induce beneficial insects for natural pest control.

To prevent pest infestations, it is important to inspect the plants regularly and take appropriate countermeasures when necessary.
