Plant Details

Care Guide

Sunlight: Requires full sun for best flowering. At least 5–6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Insufficient light reduces bloom production significantly.

Watering: Water moderately. Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Drought-tolerant once established but performs best with consistent moisture. Avoid waterlogging.

Soil: Use a well-draining, fertile potting mix. Slightly acidic pH (5.5–6.5) promotes best growth and flowering.

Fertilizing: Apply balanced NPK (10-10-10) monthly. Use a bloom booster (high phosphorus) during active flowering to maximise bloom count and colour intensity.

Pruning: Prune after each flowering flush to maintain shape and encourage fresh growth. Can be trained on a trellis or kept as a compact shrub with regular pruning.

Pest & Disease Guide

Generally hardy. Watch for aphids and mealybugs on new growth — treat with neem oil spray. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. All parts of Allamanda are toxic if ingested — keep away from children and pets.

Landscaping Uses
