In shady areas,<br \/>\nflowering is substantially reduced.<br \/><b>Temperature: <\/b>Grows well between 15 \u00b0C and 25 \u00b0C, but is sensitive<br \/>\nto frost. In cold climates it behaves as an annual,<br \/>\nwhile in warmer areas it can persist as a perennial.<br \/><b>Watering:<\/b> After initial planting, water regularly when<br \/>\nthe soil is dry. Although drought-tolerant once established,<br \/>\nmoderate humidity improves development and flowering.<br \/><b>Humidity: <\/b>Prefers well-drained soil; does not like waterlogged soil.<br \/>\nTolerates drier conditions after rooting.<br \/><b>Fertilization: <\/b>Does not require intensive fertilization. An application of organic<br \/>\ncompost or balanced (or phosphorus-rich) fertilizer at the beginning of the growing<br \/>\nseason is sufficient. In pots, a substrate with slow-release nutrients<br \/>\nwill suffice.<br \/><b>Height: <\/b>35\u201340 cm.<br \/><b>Pruning: <\/b>Does not require formal pruning. Removing dried flowers enhances the appearance<br \/>\nof the plant and can prolong flowering. Pinching out the first buds encourages more<br \/>\nbranching and flowering.<br \/><b>Life cycle: <\/b>Usually an annual in temperate climates; can persist<br \/>\nas a perennial in warmer regions.<br \/><b>Type of substrate: <\/b>Light, well-drained and fertile soil; tolerates sandy,<br \/>\nclay or limestone soils as long as they drain well. Slightly acidic to slightly alkaline pH<br \/>\nis compatible.<br \/><b>Not Pet Friendly: <\/b>Although there are no frequent reports of toxicity,<br \/>\ningestion should be avoided.<br \/><b>Curiosity:<\/b> The epithet \u2018globose\u2019 refers to the spherical shape of the inflorescences,<br \/>\nand \u2018perpetual\u2019 comes from the flowers&#8217; ability to retain color and shape<br \/>\nafter drying.
