Cleome Care Tips:

Humidity Control: Cleome thrives in high humidity environments. If the air is too dry, it can cause the flowers to wilt faster. It's also sensitive to rain, so it's best to keep the leaves dry, especially at night. The ideal relative humidity range is between 65% and 75%.

Temperature Management: This plant is heat-tolerant but not frost-resistant. Make sure to protect it from cold temperatures, especially during winter months.

Light Requirements: Cleome prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. For best growth and flowering, place it in a sunny location.

Fertilizer Tips: Like many grasses, Cleome needs regular feeding and watering. However, it’s important to follow the principle of “light fertilizer, less quantity, and less nutrition.” After applying fertilizer, make sure the leaves and flowers stay dry to prevent fungal issues.

Summer and Autumn Care: These are the peak growing seasons for Cleome. During this time, follow a fertilization schedule known as “Huabao” – “Huabao” – Qingshui – “Huabao” – “Huabao” – Qingshui (at least once a week). This ensures two “flower treasures” or blooming periods. Once the plant enters the flowering stage, reduce fertilizer slightly to help the seeds mature properly.

Proper care throughout the growing season will ensure your Cleome remains healthy, vibrant, and full of beautiful blooms. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just starting out, these tips will help you get the most out of this lovely plant.
