CARE GUIDE

How to keep Incarvillea Sinensis.

Light

Fern-leaved trumpet-flower comes from bright, open habitats where it flourishes in full sun. It can tolerate partial sun but favors direct sunlight for optimal growth. This plant, which can be annual or biennial, is noted for its sun-loving nature.

Temperature

Fern-leaved trumpet-flower can withstand a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be restricted by certain combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer conditions with adequate rainfall or irrigation. Long stretches of cloudy, rainy weather, as well as sustained high temperatures, increase the chances of the Fern-leaved trumpet-flower dying. In winter, proper protection from cold can enhance the plant’s survival rate.

Fertilizer

When the Fern-leaved trumpet-flower has opened most of its blooms to full size, resume fertilizing. Around peak bloom, begin feeding it once every three to four weeks, weather permitting. Then, when the plant starts to produce fewer new blooms, stop fertilizing; there is no need to feed it when it can no longer produce more flowers.
