কামিনী

Kamini • Beauty: The plant becomes very attractive with small milky white fragrant flowers and thick green leaves. • Uses: Ideal for gardens, hedges, balconies and landscape decoration. • Specialties: It is a very popular ornamental plant for its sweet fragrance, fresh green leaves throughout the year and easy care.

**Watering:** Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry, especially during hot weather. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues. **Lighting:** Prefers full sun exposure for optimal blooming, but can tolerate partial shade if light is insufficient. **Pruning:** Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new blooms; do not hard prune the main canes.

### Potting & Planting Instructions for Kamini 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.
