Here’s a detailed care guide for Iresine herbstii ‘Yellow’, also known as Yellow Bloodleaf or Chicken Gizzard Plant (Yellow variety) 🌿 — a vibrant ornamental plant known for its bright yellow-green foliage and bushy growth.
Here is a comprehensive care guide for your Iresine Herbsti ‘Yellow’ :
🌞 Light
-
Best: Bright, indirect sunlight or filtered light.
-
Tolerates: Partial shade, but leaves will become less vibrant in low light.
-
Avoid: Harsh direct midday sun—it can cause leaf burn. Morning or late afternoon sun is ideal.
🌡️ Temperature
-
Ideal range: 18–30°C
-
Avoid: Below 12°C — it’s sensitive to cold and frost.
-
Perfect for tropical and subtropical climates.
💧 Watering
-
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
-
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry.
-
In summer: frequent watering (every 2–3 days).
-
In winter: reduce frequency, but don’t let it dry completely.
💡 Tip: Yellowing or drooping leaves often indicate overwatering or poor drainage.
🌱 Soil
-
Use well-draining, fertile soil.
-
Ideal mix:
-
1 part garden soil
-
1 part cocopeat or peat moss
-
1 part perlite or sand
-
Add organic compost for better color and vigor.
-
🍽️ Fertilizer
-
Feed every 15–20 days during active growth (spring to monsoon).
-
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer (NPK 10:10:10) or an organic fertilizer like seaweed or vermicompost tea.
-
Avoid overfeeding — excess nitrogen can cause weak stems.
✂️ Pruning
-
Regular pruning encourages a bushy shape and maintains compactness.
-
Pinch off the growing tips every few weeks.
-
Remove any faded or leggy stems to promote new growth.
🪴 Repotting
-
Repot once every year or two, preferably in early spring.
-
Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage holes.
🌸 Propagation
-
Very easy from stem cuttings.
-
Take 10–12 cm cuttings from healthy stems.
-
Root them in water or moist cocopeat.
-
Roots appear within 7–10 days.
