Planting & Care
1. Planting: Start by finding an area with full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight) and well-drained soil or select a container with drainage holes for planting.
Once you’ve selected a location (or planted in your container, which should be twice the size of the shipped container), dig a hole that’s around twice the size of your plant’s root ball and just as deep, with a bit of extra room to grow. Then, place the Cestrum, tamp down the soil and water to settle the roots.
2. Watering: Generally, you should check your soil about 2 to 3 inches down for dryness. If the soil is dry here, water the plant. Watering about once or twice weekly is a good rule of thumb, at least until your Cestrum is established.
3. Fertilizing: Feed your Red Cestrum with a general-purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in the spring.
4. Pruning: Prune your Red Cestrum in the fall, after flowers have faded.
