Frequently asked questions
Pentas
Will it work at the front of a mixed planter display?
Yes, if it receives enough light and has room for its branching crown. Keep separate root containers for easier watering.
Do faded flower clusters need to stay?
Remove spent clusters to keep the display tidy and allow fresh shoots to develop; retain healthy leaves.
Will all flowers be open on arrival?
Bud and flower stage varies by batch and season; images do not guarantee a particular flowering stage.
Can I plant several pots tightly together?
Leave enough space for mature leaves and airflow, especially during humid Hong Kong weather.
