How to care for your Clerodendrum Bungei

  1. Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Plant it in a location that receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
  2. Soil: This plant prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. If your soil is heavy or clay-like, amend it with compost or peat moss to improve drainage.
  3. Watering: It is drought-tolerant and can withstand dry spells, but it should be watered regularly during the growing season. Avoid over-watering.
  4. Fertilising: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in the Spring and Summer. This will promote healthy growth and an abundance of flowers.
  5. Pruning: Prune after the flowering period to maintain its shape and size. Remove dead, diseased or damaged branches and shape the plant to your desired size.
  6. Winter Protection: Can withstand colder temperatures, but in areas with extremely cold winters, it is best to mulch around the base of the plant to protect the roots.

By following these simple care instructions, your Clerodendrum Bungei will thrive and provide beautiful flowers for many seasons to come
