The optimal soil composition for medinilla is leaf soil, turf soil, sand, peat and humus in a ratio of 2:2:1:1:1.
What kind of pot is needed for Medinilla
Even though medinilla can reach a height of 100 cm or more, it has a shallow root system.
Therefore, a wide and shallow pot is best for planting so that the roots can grow well.
There should be drainage holes at the bottom, and be sure to create a drainage layer.
How to Care for a Medinilla Plant
Tropical medinilla is accustomed to high air humidity (about 70-75%).
It is customary to keep a pot with a flower on a deep tray with moistened expanded clay or other decorative stones.
In addition, the plant must be regularly sprayed with a spray bottle.
How to trim Medinilla correctly
For basic pruning, use sharp pruning shears that will make clean cuts without damaging the plants.
Make each cut at a 45° angle to encourage healthy new growth.
First, remove any dead or rotted stems by cutting them just above the damaged area or cutting them all the way to the ground.
