How to Care for the Plant

Water
Never allow the soil to completely dry. Water the Cestrum when the top one or two inches of soil has dried. When watering, soak Cestrum thoroughly and allow the water to drain around the base.
Fertilizer
For healthier growth, feed the plants once or twice per month. Dilute the liquid fertilizer before use.
Sunlight
Provide bright light.
