- Long-Lasting Color: This plant’s vibrant foliage lasts throughout the growing season, providing consistent color and texture in your garden from spring through fall.
Care Instructions:
- Light: Alternanthera prefers full sun to partial shade. For the best color vibrancy, plant it in an area that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Watering: While Alternanthera is drought-tolerant, regular watering is necessary to keep it looking its best, especially in the hotter months. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to avoid overwatering.
- Soil: Thrives in well-drained, moderately fertile soil. While it’s adaptable to various soil types, it will flourish in slightly acidic to neutral soils that provide good drainage.
- Temperature: Alternanthera does best in warm temperatures, ideally between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). It’s not frost-tolerant, so be sure to bring it indoors or protect it during colder months in temperate climates.
- Pruning: Light pruning can be done to shape the plant and encourage denser growth. Regularly remove any dead or damaged leaves to keep it looking tidy and healthy.
