DETAILS

Care Instructions
Scaevola nitida thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered when the soil partially dries out, and it benefits from a humid environment. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.
Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged.
Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 should be applied during the growing season. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and flowering.
Repotting
Repot Scaevola nitida when it outgrows its current container, typically every 1-2 years. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and refresh the soil to provide new nutrients.
Propagation
Propagate Scaevola nitida through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, dip them in rooting hormone, and plant them in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment until they establish roots.
Pruning
Prune Scaevola nitida regularly to remove dead or damaged growth and to shape the plant. Pruning encourages bushier growth and more abundant flowering. Perform pruning in the spring or after the flowering period.
Toxicity
Scaevola nitida is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. It is generally considered safe to grow in gardens and around homes.
