Care Instructions
Lantana viburnoides thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered when the soil is almost completely dry. This plant can tolerate a range of humidity levels but prefers moderate humidity. Regular pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and encourage blooming.Soil
Lantana viburnoides prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate poor soil conditions but thrives best in moderately fertile soil. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.Repotting
Repot Lantana viburnoides every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagation
Lantana viburnoides can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant it in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist and place the cutting in a bright, indirect light until roots develop.Pruning
Prune Lantana viburnoides regularly to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Remove dead or damaged branches and trim back overgrown areas. Pruning is best done in the early spring before new growth begins.Toxicity
Lantana viburnoides is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. All parts of the plant, especially the berries, contain toxins that can cause gastrointestinal distress and other symptoms. Keep this plant out of reach of children and pets.Additional
Lantana viburnoides can become invasive in some regions, so it's important to monitor its growth and prevent it from spreading uncontrollably. Deadheading spent flowers can help control its spread and encourage more blooms.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
