Plant Care 🪴

1. Sunlight: Provide ample sunlight for optimal blooming. Plumbago Auriculata thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings to prevent waterlogged roots.
3. Fertilization: Feed with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
4. Pruning: Trim back leggy or unruly branches to maintain a tidy shape. Pruning in late winter or early spring encourages bushier growth.
5. Support: Provide support for sprawling branches, especially if grown as a climber, to enhance its aesthetic appeal.
