Lantanas love fresh air, so in summer it is better to place a flower pot on the veranda, terrace or open balcony.

How fast does lantana grow

Lantana grows quickly, being one of the most active non-cold-tolerant crops.

Pruning promotes active growth of young shoots.

The plant develops rapidly, even after severe pruning at the end of February, already in April the bushy plant is able to release the first buds.

A lot of sunlight is the main condition for the lush flowering of the southern tropicana.

Abundant, regular watering during active growth - when the soil dries completely, the lower leaves and buds of the bush fall off.

The flower loves high humidity.

How to water lantana

In summer, water lantana once every 1-2 days, when the top 1.5 cm of soil is completely dry.

Spray with warm water 2 times a week, avoiding moisture on the inflorescences.

In spring, water every other day in small doses.

Why doesn't lantana bloom

If you feed one of these plants too much, it may show no flowers or produce slightly sparse flowers.

Additionally, an overfed Lantana vault will be weaker overall, show slower growth, and be more vulnerable to disease and pests.
