Clerodendrum Inerme Ball Shape “Wild Jasmine”

Description

Clerodendrum inerme, or Bharangi, is a relatively low-maintenance plant, but it still requires some care to thrive:

1. Sunlight: Clerodendrum inerme prefers full to partial sunlight. Place it where it can receive at least a few hours of direct sunlight daily.
2. Soil: Well-draining soil is essential for this plant. A mix of regular potting soil with some sand or perlite to improve drainage works well.
3. Watering: Water your Clerodendrum inerme regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
4. Temperature and Humidity: This plant prefers warm temperatures and high humidity, typical of its native tropical habitats. Keep it in a warm location, and if you’re growing it indoors, consider using a humidifier or placing a tray filled with water and pebbles beneath the pot to increase humidity levels.
5. Fertilization: Feed your Clerodendrum inerme with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding or stop altogether during the dormant season in fall and winter.
6. Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the plant’s shape and encourages healthy growth. Prune away dead or diseased branches as needed, and trim back leggy growth to promote bushiness.
7. Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids, mealybugs, and scale insects. If you notice any infestations, treat them promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
8. Propagation: Clerodendrum inerme can be propagated from stem cuttings. Take a cutting from a healthy, mature stem, dip it in rooting hormone (optional), and plant it in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil moist and provide warmth and indirect light until the cutting roots.

By following these care guidelines, you can help your Clerodendrum inerme thrive and enjoy its beautiful flowers and foliage.
