Well draining soil rich in organic matter is ideal for million bells flowering plant. Prepare potting mix with 40% soil + 30% compost + 20% cocopeat + 10% river sand.

Calibrachoa prefers to grow in moist but not waterlogged soil. Water the plant when the top 1 inch layer of soil feels dry to the touch.
It is a heavy feeder and requires regular fertilization to produce an abundance of flowers. Apply one handful of vermicompost + 1 tablespoon onion peel fertilizer after every 14 days.
Deadheading, or removing spent flowers, will encourage the plant to produce more blooms. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to remove the flowers.
