Plant Care Instructions:

2. Soil: Tecoma Gaudichaudi prefers well-draining soil. Sandy or loamy soil with moderate fertility works best. Avoid heavy clay soils that retain water.
3. Watering: Water the plant deeply but infrequently. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
4. Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the desired shape and encourages bushier growth and more blooms. Prune after the flowering season to remove spent flowers and leggy branches.

Common Problems and Solutions:

1. Yellowing Leaves: This may indicate overwatering or poor soil drainage. Ensure the soil drains well and reduce watering frequency.
2. Pest Infestations: Tecoma Gaudichaudi can attract aphids and spider mites. Treat infestations with neem oil or insecticidal soap. Regularly inspect the plant for pests.
3. Poor Flowering: Insufficient sunlight or over-fertilization can reduce blooming. Place the plant in a sunny location and avoid excessive use of nitrogen-rich fertilizers.
4. Leggy Growth: If the plant becomes sparse, prune it back to encourage fuller, bushier growth.
