Drunk Flower Pot Planting and Maintenance Tips: When transplanting seedlings, it's best to do so when they have 2-3 true leaves. Transplant or pot them in June, as straight-rooted plants with small roots can struggle to recover after moving. It's usually better to transplant in early spring in open fields, or once the seedling reaches about 5 cm in height. Use fertile soil and avoid over-fertilizing. During the growing season, apply fertilizer every two weeks. Keep water and nutrients under control to prevent excessive growth that might affect flowering. During the bud formation and blooming period, fertilize 2-3 times to extend the flowering duration. Watering should be moderate—keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Water only when the soil feels dry to the touch.
Cleome Care
Cleome requires support structures to prevent it from falling over. If you don't want seeds to form, remove the spent flowers promptly to reduce nutrient consumption and prolong the bloom. The entire plant has sticky hairs, which means it doesn’t require much water. Only increase watering during the flowering phase. In the seedling stage, minimal watering is sufficient for easier management. In summer, water at least once a day. If temperatures are high and drought occurs, move the plant to a cooler area and water once the container has cooled slightly. In autumn and winter, reduce watering frequency. Water only when the top layer of soil is dry.
Light and Temperature: Cleome thrives in warm conditions and is heat-resistant. The ideal growth temperature ranges between 20°C and 32°C. It prefers bright light and can grow in partial shade, but for a more compact, dwarf appearance, ensure it receives at least 4 hours of direct sunlight daily. Removing spent flowers promptly helps extend the blooming period.
When potting, pinch back the top buds at the seedling stage and limit nitrogen fertilizer to encourage a shorter, bushier plant. For cut flowers, plant slightly closer together and remove lateral buds to promote stronger top blooms. To have Cleome in full bloom around the Spring Festival, plant it in autumn and bring it indoors before winter. Place it in a sunny indoor location, keeping the temperature around 20°C. Maintain slightly moist soil and apply 2–3 doses of a balanced liquid fertilizer during the bud stage to ensure a beautiful bloom for the holiday season.
Common pests include leaf spot and rust. Treat leaf spot with a 50% Tolcin WP solution diluted to 500 times. For rust, use a 50% Rust-Free WP solution mixed at a 3000 times dilution.
