Care Requirements

Below, you’ll find key tips tailored to this species’ requirements. Whether you’re new to plant care or have plenty of experience, these guidelines are here to support you in keeping your green companion healthy and vibrant.

  1. Planting:
    • Choose a location with full sun exposure to ensure the best flowering and growth.
    • Plant in well-draining soil; amend heavy soils with organic matter to improve drainage.
  2. Watering:
    • Water regularly during the first few years to help establish a strong root system.
    • Once established, the Coral Tree is drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering. Water during extended dry periods as needed.
  3. Pruning:
    • Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins to shape the tree and remove any dead or damaged branches.
    • Light pruning after flowering can help maintain a balanced shape and encourage new growth.
  4. Fertilizing:
    • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and flowering.
    • Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to excessive foliage growth and reduced flowering.
  5. Pest and Disease Control:
    • Monitor for pests such as scale insects and aphids. Regular inspection and appropriate treatments can help manage infestations.
    • Watch for diseases like root rot and fungal infections; ensure good air circulation around the plant and avoid overhead watering.
