Care Aspect	Recommendation
Soil	Rat Ki Rani grows best in well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. A mix of 50% garden soil, 30% compost or well-rotted manure, and 20% cocopeat or river sand provides excellent drainage and healthy root growth. Avoid heavy clay soil or waterlogged conditions.
Watering	Water deeply 2–3 times a week during summer or whenever the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. During winter, reduce watering to once every 7–10 days depending on the weather. Always allow excess water to drain and avoid keeping the soil constantly wet, as overwatering may cause root rot.
Fertilizing	Feed the plant every 3–4 weeks during the growing season (February to October) using a balanced NPK fertilizer (20-20-20) or organic compost. When flower buds start forming, switch to a high-phosphorus fertilizer such as NPK 5-15-45 to encourage more flowers and stronger fragrance. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it promotes leafy growth instead of blooms.
Sunlight	Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Provide 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily for abunda
