Cleome Care Tips:

Humidity Control: Cleome thrives in high humidity, and low humidity can cause the flowers to wither more quickly. It's also sensitive to rain, so it's important to keep the leaves dry, especially at night. The ideal relative humidity for Cleome is between 65% and 75%.

Temperature Regulation: This plant is heat-tolerant but not frost-resistant. Make sure to protect it from cold temperatures, especially during early spring or late autumn.

Light Requirements: Cleome prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. For best growth and flowering, place it in a sunny location where it can receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

Fertilizer Application: Like many grasses, Cleome benefits from regular feeding and watering. However, it's important to follow the "light fertilizer, less quantity, frequent application" principle. After fertilizing, make sure to keep the leaves and flowers dry to avoid disease or damage.

Summer and Autumn Care: These are the peak growing seasons for Cleome. During this time, maintain a consistent watering and fertilizing schedule following the "flower bloom – flower bloom – water – flower bloom – flower bloom – water" pattern (at least once a week). This helps ensure two periods of abundant blooming. Once the plant enters the flowering stage, reduce fertilizer to help the seeds mature properly.

Proper care during these months will lead to healthier plants and more vibrant blooms. Keep an eye on moisture levels and adjust your care routine based on weather conditions. With the right attention, Cleome can thrive and bring beauty to your garden all season long.
