• Soil – Use well-draining, infertile soil as too rich soil will result in fewer flowers and more leaves.
• Water – Nasturtium is moderately drought tolerant, and weekly watering is sufficient for it.
• Sunlight – The Nasturtium plant grows best in full sun and can tolerate partial shade. But the nasturtium growing in the shade tends to be leggy and produces fewer flowers. Therefore, it is best to grow nasturtium in the shade during the hot summer.
• Temperature – Nasturtium grows best in temperatures between 10-27°C. These plants prefer cool climates and can tolerate hot weather but will not produce more flowers.
• Common pests and diseases – Only aphids disturb the growth of Nasturtium plants. You can use neem oil to eliminate aphids. Other than this bacterial leaf spots infect the plant when grown in poor conditions. It is best to cut off infected leaves to avoid the spread of the disease.
