Cassia javanica, commonly known as the Pink Shower Tree, is a flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is native to Southeast Asia and is known for its beautiful pink flowers that bloom in clusters. The plant is typically found in tropical and subtropical regions and can grow into a large tree.
Cassia javanica requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in warm temperatures and moderate humidity. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings. The plant prefers outdoor conditions and can be challenging to grow indoors.
土壤
The Pink Shower Tree 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. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
肥料
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is recommended. Fertilize the plant during the growing season to support its development. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the plant.
换盆
Repotting is necessary when the plant outgrows its current container. Choose a larger pot with good drainage and fresh loamy soil. Repotting is best done in the early growing season to minimize stress on the plant.
传播
Cassia javanica can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be soaked in water before planting to improve germination rates. Cuttings should be taken from healthy, mature plants and rooted in a well-draining soil mix.
修剪
Pruning is required to maintain the shape and health of the plant. Remove dead or diseased branches and trim back overgrown areas. Pruning is best done after the flowering season to encourage new growth.
毒性
Cassia javanica is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always advisable to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidental ingestion.
