**Watering:** Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy; allow the top inch to dry between deep waterings. **Lighting:** Prefers full sun exposure, especially for optimal flowering. **Pruning:** Prune back old or dead growth in late winter/early spring to encourage new shoots and better air circulation.

### Potting & Planting Instructions for Jhulonto Clerodendrum 1. **Container Selection**: Choose a terracotta, ceramic, or nursery pot with generous drainage holes at the base. 2. **Soil Mix Recipe**: Use Well-draining garden soil enriched with 30% organic vermicompost. Adding a layer of coarse gravel or leca at the bottom enhances oxygenation. 3. **Planting Depth**: Position the plant at the exact same root collar depth as in its nursery container. Avoid burying stems too deep. 4. **Initial Settling**: After potting, water thoroughly until water drains freely, then place in bright indirect light for 3–5 days to acclimatize before moving to full sun.

Harvest mature stems/leaves as needed using clean sterilized pruning shears.

Pairs wonderfully with drought-tolerant companion plants and complementary flowering plants varieties.
