Rudimentaries
Nourishment
Your Lollipop plant literally flowers throughout the year. Fertilize them with an all purpose fertilizer like Bahaar™ or any equivalent once in 15 days and replenish the soil with an all purpose manure like Biogro™ or any such equivalent every 3 months.
Repotting
They don't grow too tall, so just keep an eye on them and repot when you think they've outgrown their container.
Rays of Sunshine
Lollipop plants are easy-to-enjoy partial shade loving plants and develop into a nice shrubby perennial. They love indirect light.
Viable Locations
As they flower almost year round they are good for most spots that need livening up. Place in any location that receives indirect light.
Water Levels
Your plants will arrive in a self-watering pot adept at safeguarding a continually moist potting medium. If the soil appears to be dry, gently lift the black inner container to check the reservoir's water level. If the reservoir is nearly empty, add 150-175 mL of water to the soil from the top.
