Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Plant rhizomes horizontally with the eyes facing up, 4-6 inches deep.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Feed Cannas with a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers that promote leaf growth over flowers.
Apply a layer of mulch around Cannas to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Use organic mulch like bark chips or compost
Remove spent flowers and yellowing leaves to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance.
Watch for pests like aphids, spider mites, and slugs. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
Divide clumps every 2-3 years in spring to rejuvenate plants and promote healthy growth.
