Care Tips for Chiriyanangai

  • Light: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth.
  • Watering: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as overwatering can lead to root rot.

  • Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect from frost and extreme cold.
  • Fertilizing: Fertilize lightly with a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to support growth.
  • Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed; however, you can trim back any leggy growth to maintain a compact shape.
  • Pests: Generally resistant to pests but watch for mealybugs and aphids. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.
