Plant Care:

• Light Requirements: Plant Vinca Rosea in full sun for best blooming. It can tolerate some light shade but blooms less profusely.

• Watering Schedule: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot weather. Water deeply to encourage deep root growth.

• Soil Type: Use well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Vinca Rosea prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil pH.

• Fertilizing Routine: Feed every 4-6 weeks with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can promote foliage growth over flowers.

• Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming throughout the season. Trim leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.

• Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Avoid mulch directly touching stems to prevent rot.

• Pest and Disease Control: Monitor for pests like aphids and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap. Watch for signs of fungal diseases and ensure good air circulation.

• Temperature and Humidity: Vinca Rosea thrives in warm temperatures and can tolerate heat well. It prefers moderate humidity levels but is adaptable.
