This plant is known for its large, lobed leaves and tall, plume-like flower clusters. It thrives in warm climates and can grow quite large, making it a striking addition to gardens.
Bocconia frutescens requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate some drought once established. Regular watering is necessary during the growing season, but the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings. This plant also benefits from moderate humidity levels.

A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is suitable for Bocconia frutescens. Fertilize the plant during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
إعادة السمعة
