Strong & beautiful plants are 1-2-3-EASY!!
Sun
Superbells® are considered full sun plants. This means they will do best with a minimum of 6 hours of direct sun a day. They will do OK in a part sun location, 4-6 hours of direct sun a day, but flower number will decrease and the plants will stretch and look more open. If your plants aren’t getting enough sun, the foliage turns light green, they stretch and the bloom number will decrease or blooming may stop all together. Move your plants to a location where they get at least 6 hours of direct sun a day and give the plants a trim, taking off 1 to 4 inches or about 20% off the plant.
Water
Soil and watering go hand-in-hand in keeping your Superbells® happy. The root system of Calibrachoa tends to be sensitive to “wet feet.” This simply means they don’t like sitting in wet soils and they need to be planted where they will get excellent drainage, and in a good quality potting soil. Keeping soil from over-saturation is key to keeping your plants happy. Be sure that the containers you choose have drainage holes.
