Clerodendron Splendens plant care and instructions
Flowering plants need access to bright sunlight to remain healthy and blooming. An east-facing balcony is the best place for the plants in Indian conditions. Try keeping them in bright sunlight but also where they get a little cover from the harsh afternoon sun. Some plants which are a little tender tend to burn due to the same. Plants with thin leaves need daily watering and ones with thick leaves need watering 3-4 times a week. This will also depend on the season. Generally, during the blooming period, plants love a lot of water. Try keeping the soil moist. During winters it is better to cut back on watering. Keep the plants in well-drained soil with a drainage hole at the bottom. This will help to avoid over-watering. Take care as to not leave stagnant water on top of the soil. Fertilize the plant once in 2-3 weeks during its blooming period. Do not fertilize it in winters.
