Planting & Growing Instructions:

  • Light Requirements:
    Prefers full sun, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for the best blooms and growth.

  • Soil:
    Well-draining, sandy or loamy soil is ideal. This plant doesn’t mind poor soil but does best in slightly acidic to neutral conditions.

  • Watering:
    Water moderately when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering as the plant is drought-tolerant and dislikes wet feet.

  • Temperature:
    Grows best in temperatures between 70–85°F (21–29°C). Can tolerate heat but should be protected from frost.

  • Fertilizer:
    Feed monthly with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season to encourage continuous blooming.


Care Tips for Success:

  • Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers and maintain a tidy appearance.
  • Repotting: If growing in containers, refresh the soil and repot annually to ensure proper drainage.
  • Pest Management: Catharanthus is relatively pest-resistant, but be sure to watch for aphids or spider mites during the growing season.

Styling Ideas for Home and Garden:

  • Hanging Baskets & Window Boxes: Let the cascading growth and vibrant red flowers create a stunning display.
