Angelonia Angustifolia

What is the plant

The charm of snapdragon flowers in gardens is strong but fleeting, as these flowers are cool weather annuals that quickly fade when summer turns up the heat. However, angelonia is a lookalike plant ready to stand strong in landscapes long after the last snapdragon has wilted. The fruity scent of angelonia is a bonus and is especially strong on hot summer evenings.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
When you first plant your antirrhinum seeds, you will need to keep them moist for the first 2 to 3 weeks. Once the plants are established in the soil, they'll need approximately 3 cm (1.18 inches) of water each week. You should water near the plant's crown, and don't water them from overhead.
Pruning
Just remove dead leaves and stems.
Fertilizer
Cacti fertilizer requirements are pretty simple. Any good houseplant food (diluted to half) that's higher in phosphorus than nitrogen is a good choice. A 5-10-5 solution can work well.
