Plant Care

Light Requirements: Provide bright light with several hours of direct sunlight or very bright filtered light each day. Protect from extreme afternoon heat indoors.

Water Requirements: Keep the soil evenly moist during active growth, allowing the surface to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid waterlogged soil.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced flowering-plant fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

Soil: Use a rich, well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture while allowing excess water to drain.

Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures around 65–85°F. Protect from frost and cold temperatures.

Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested. Keep away from cats, dogs, and children.

Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity and good airflow.

Growth Habit: A fast-growing, upright to spreading tropical shrub with slender green leaves and small, highly fragrant flowers that release their strongest scent at night.
