Plant Description:

- This page is dedicated to no particular variety. Varieties are seperately mentioned later. There are hubdreds of these and we have described just a few.
- This is the Thai good luck plant.
- One of the hardiest plants for landscape. Has flowers almost throughout the year.
- It is amazing how this ordinary plant has changed over the years with breeding work.
- Plants have lush green leaves.
- The flower color we see are not the petals - they are sepals (like in ixoras, poinsettias or bougainvilleas). This is what makes the flowers long lasting.

Growing tips:

- Full to diffused sunlight best. Minimum 3 to 4 hours of direct sunlight will be adequate.
- Grow the plants in a very well drained potting mix. It should be open and contain good amounts of sand and organic matter.
- Water plants only when the potting mix becomes dry.
- Plants do not branch very well - especially in low light so do not cut off the tips to reduce height. In case there is a side shoot already growing - you can then cut off the main shoot above it.
- A balanced liquid fertilizer with occasional application (1/2 tea spoon every month) of Bone meal is good for the plant.
- Planting in pots is recommended. However they can also be planted in raised beds. (to ensure good drainage).
