Ceratostigma willmottianum aka Chinese Plumbago

Chinese Plumbago is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

Chinese Plumbago should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Chinese Plumbago loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Chinese Plumbago prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the cold period, it is common for Chinese Plumbago to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more during this period.

Chinese Plumbago is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.

Chinese Plumbago’s native range is E. Asia - W. China to Tibet.
