📋How to Care for Your Manoranjitham Plant? 

☀️ Sunlight

Prefers full to partial sunlight.

If exposed to harsh summer heat, growing under a shade net is recommended.

💧Watering

Water deeply once every few days, allowing the soil to slightly dry between waterings.

Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Best watered in the morning to keep the plant hydrated throughout the day.

☘️ Soil & Potting

Prefers well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with good aeration.

For best results, use our Potting Soil, an organically enriched, pathogen-free mix that supports healthy root growth and moisture retention.

This premium soil contains coco peat, vermiculite, cow dung, goat manure, neem cake, and beneficial microbes, ensuring optimal plant health.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

Prune early spring to encourage new growth and shape the plant.
Remove dead flowers and stems regularly.

Maintain a bushy shrub or allow it to climb trellises and fences for vertical gardening.

🌲Fertilisation 

Prefers well-draining, nutrient-rich soil with organic components like cow dung manure, vermicompost, and neem cake.

Use vermicompost for slow-release nutrients, improving soil aeration and water retention.

Cow dung manure enhances microbial activity, enriches the soil, and strengthens root development.

Fish amino acid fertiliser provides a natural nitrogen boost, increasing plant growth and flowering, photosynthesis efficiency, and stress resistance.

✨Common Plant Problems and Quick Solutions

Brown leaf tips result from inconsistent watering and dry air. Maintain regular watering and proper humidity to prevent dryness.

Yellow leaves occur due to overwatering, underwatering, or improper sunlight. Water only when the soil is dry and adjust sunlight exposure.

Spots on leaves indicate a fungal infection that spreads through contact. Keep plants spaced, avoid splashing water, and remove infected leaves.

Leaves falling off are caused by low light, cold air, or overwatering. Move the plant to a brighter spot and adjust watering.
