Here’s a detailed care guide for Clerodendrum Calamitosum  :

Sunlight

 

  • Full Sun to Partial Shade: Clerodendrum calamitosum can handle a range of light conditions. It thrives in full sun but also does well in partial shade. In very hot climates, a location with protection from intense midday sun is ideal to prevent leaf scorching.

 

Watering

 

  • Regular Moisture: This plant prefers a consistently moist soil. Water regularly, especially during the active growing season (spring and summer).
  • Avoid Waterlogging: While it likes moisture, it is crucial that the soil is well-draining. Standing water can lead to root rot, which is a common problem for many plants. Reduce watering frequency in the winter when the plant’s growth slows.

 

Soil

 

  • Well-Draining and Rich: Use a rich, well-draining soil mix. A slightly alkaline pH is also suitable. You can amend the soil with compost or other organic matter to improve its fertility and drainage.

 

Temperature and Humidity

 

  • Warm Climate: As a tropical plant, it thrives in warm, humid conditions. It is heat-tolerant.
  • Frost-Sensitive: It is not frost-hardy and will freeze back to the ground in cold temperatures. If you live in a climate with cold winters, it’s best to grow it in a pot that can be moved indoors or to a protected area.

 

Fertilization

 

  • During Growing Season: Fertilize every few months with a balanced, organic fertilizer. A fertilizer with sufficient phosphorus will help promote flower formation.
  • Reduce in Winter: Stop fertilizing in the fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.

 

Pruning and Maintenance

 

  • Pruning: Pruning is not always necessary as the plant remains quite compact. However, you can prune in early spring before new growth begins to maintain a neat shape and encourage bushier growth and more flowers.
  • Root Runners: Be aware that this plant can spread via root runners in the garden. If you want to control its spread, consider using a root barrier or planting it in a container.
