Choisya ternata aka Mexican Orange Blossom

If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, Mexican Orange Blossom is a great choice to test your gardening skills.

Mexican Orange Blossom should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Mexican Orange Blossom 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 Mexican Orange Blossom prefers bright indirect 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 Mexican Orange Blossom to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.

There is no verified data on the toxicity of this plant in the records of Ploi. If any person, including yourself, a family member, or a pet, consume plant material with an uncertain toxicity level, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare expert.

Mexican Orange Blossom’s native range is Southern N. America - Mexico.
