Care

Light: The Madagascar Periwinkle needs plenty of sunlight to thrive, so place it in a location where it can receive at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix that is rich in organic matter. A pH of 6.0 to 7.5 is ideal. Temperature: The Madagascar Periwinkle prefers warm temperatures, between 18°C and 30°C. Avoid exposing the plant to temperatures below 15°C. Fertilizer: Feed the plant every two weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer. Reduce feeding during the winter months. Pruning: Prune the plant regularly to encourage bushy growth and remove any dead or damaged foliage. Pests and diseases: Watch out for common pests like aphids and spider mites, and treat them with a mild insecticide if necessary. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Repotting: Repot the plant every one to two years to refresh the soil and provide room for growth. Choose a container that is one size larger than the current one.
