Plant Care Instructions:

  • Light: Eranthemum Albo Marginatum thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, causing the variegation to fade.
  • Watering: Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between watering to prevent root rot.
  • Soil: Plant in well-draining, fertile soil. A mix of garden soil, peat, and perlite is ideal for promoting healthy root growth.
  • Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage lush foliage.
  • Pruning: Prune lightly to maintain the plant’s shape and remove any dead or yellowing leaves. Regular pruning also encourages bushier growth and more vibrant foliage.

Common Problems and Solutions:

  • Leaf Browning: Browning of the leaf edges can occur due to underwatering or exposure to direct sunlight. Ensure the plant is watered regularly and placed in a spot with bright, indirect light.
  • Pest Infestation: Eranthemum Albo Marginatum can be prone to pests like spider mites and aphids. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil to treat infestations promptly.
  • Root Rot: Overwatering or poor drainage can lead to root rot. Ensure the soil drains well, and avoid letting the plant sit in standing water. If root rot occurs, trim affected roots and repot the plant in fresh, well-draining soil.
