Usually non-toxic, but discourage chewing.

Light
South or west window indoors, or patio with morning sun. Rotate pots for even growth.

Overwatering at the crown causes rot. Use pots with drainage holes.
Feeding
Bloom fertilizer every 2–3 weeks in active growth; reduce in winter.
Cut flowers
Harvest when outer petals are fully open. Recut stems underwater for longer vase life.
