• Light Requirements: Ageratum thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Aim for at least 6 hours of sunlight a day for optimal flowering.
• Soil: Ensure well-draining soil, rich in organic matter, to promote healthy root development. Amend soil with compost for improved fertility.
• Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the season. Cut back any leggy growth to maintain a compact shape.
• Fertilizing: Use a balanced fertilizer to support healthy growth, especially during the flowering period.
