How to Care?

• Choose well-drained soil to plant your Pentas plants in late springs to ensure the best growth.
• They don’t like being in a soggy place and prefer a type of soil that doesn’t hold too much moisture for a long time.
• Choose an area that receives bright sunlight directly or indirectly to the plant.
• Pentas plants do not like being in a frosty place. It is advisable to keep them out of areas that receive frosty winds.
• Use a slow-release fertilizer to allow the plant to uptake nutrients efficiently and apply water immediately after applying fertilizer.
• Prune the Pentas plants occasionally and remove all the dead and damaged parts to encourage full bushy growth.
• Discard all the dead or overgrown stems from the plant during the growing stage to make it look healthier and bright.
• Choose a balanced watering schedule for these plants and avoid frequently applying water.
• Do not water them unless the soil feels dry to the touch, and reduce the frequency during winter months.
• Re-pot your Pentas plant once it outgrows the current pot, and choose a bigger pot for the re-potting purpose.
• Fertilize them using a well-drained and balanced fertilizer every six weeks to ensure the best growth for your plant.
• Keep an eye on the watering schedule during the summer seasons as it may require more water than usual.
