1. Light

Jamanthi thrives in bright sunlight.

Provide 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily.

In hot climates, light afternoon shade helps protect the blooms.

2. Watering

Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy.

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.

Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal infections—water at the base of the plant.

3. Soil

Use well-draining, nutrient-rich soil.

Ideal mix: garden soil + compost + cocopeat/sand for drainage.

Avoid clay-heavy soils that retain too much moisture.

4. Fertilizer

Feed regularly for abundant blooms.

Apply a balanced fertilizer (NPK 10:10:10) every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.

Use a potassium-rich fertilizer when buds start forming to enhance flowering.

5. Pruning & Pinching

To encourage bushy growth:

Pinch the tips of young plants until mid-season.

Remove dead flowers (deadheading) to promote more blooms.

Trim back leggy stems to maintain shape.

6. Potting & Repotting

Choose a medium-sized pot with good drainage holes.

Repot annually after the flowering season to refresh soil and encourage new growth.

7. Temperature & Humidity

Ideal temperature: 18–26°C

Protect from extreme heat and heavy rain.

Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.

8. Common Problems & Solutions

Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage → improve soil and watering schedule.

Wilting: Underwatering or root rot → check moisture and soil health.

Pests: Aphids, spider mites → treat with neem oil or mild insecticidal soap.
