Pentas lanceolata - Egyptian starcluster

continental : Let’s try to keep the ground fairly damp, watering every 2-3 weeks with 1-2 buckets of water; when the weather is very harsh and the temperatures are below zero, watering can be interrupted.

alpine : Every 3-4 weeks water the soil, trying to wet it deeply; keep the ground constantly moist, although we must avoid water stagnations. Usually 0-1 buckets of water are used.

mediterranean : We suggest watering regularly with 2-3 buckets of water, trying to keep the growing substratum pretty cool and moist; if the climate is very cold we can reduce watering. 1-2 weeks should go by between irrigations.

continental : For the The Pentas lanceolata let's prefer very sunny locations, directly exposed to sunrays.
The Pentas lanceolata isn’t rustic; during the cold months it is grown in the apartment.

alpine : For a balanced development, it is best for the The Pentas lanceolata to receive as many hours possible of direct sunlight.
During the cold months these plants should be grown in an apartment because they can’t stand the cold; it’s best to keep the minimum temperatures above 15°C.

mediterranean : Plant which needs to be exposed to direct solar rays.
In the winter it’s best to move these plants in the apartment, as they need minimum temperatures above 12-15°C.

Fertilization Pentas lanceolata : During the winter it’s not necessary to fertilize shrubs. Before the winter climate gets decisively harsh, we should remember to put some fertilizer to the evergreen shrubs, preferably using organic fertilizer.
