Radermachera - 12cm

Care Tips:

1. Light: Radermachera prefers bright, indirect light. Place the plant near a window with filtered sunlight or in a location with bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Ensure proper drainage and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water, as it can lead to root rot. However, do not let the soil completely dry out, as Radermachera is sensitive to dry conditions.

3. Humidity: Radermachera appreciates moderate to high humidity levels. Increase humidity around the plant by misting the leaves regularly with room-temperature water or by placing a tray of water and pebbles near the plant. This helps create a humid microclimate.

4. Temperature: Radermachera prefers average room temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations, as it is sensitive to chilly temperatures.

5. Soil: Use well-draining soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and regular potting soil works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.

6. Fertilization: Feed your Radermachera plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer according to the instructions on the packaging. Avoid overfertilizing, as it can lead to leaf burn.

7. Pruning: Trim back any leggy or unruly growth to maintain a compact and bushy shape. Pruning can be done throughout the year to remove dead or damaged leaves and to encourage new growth.

8. Repotting: Radermachera plants may benefit from repotting every 1-2 years, especially if the roots become overcrowded. Choose a slightly larger pot and fresh potting soil when repotting.

By following these care tips, you can provide a suitable environment for your Radermachera plant and enjoy its lush foliage and graceful growth habit. With proper care, your Radermachera will thrive and bring beauty to your indoor space.
