About Pentas (Dark Pink) - Pentas lanceolata
Pentas is a tropical, warm-region flowering plant named for the five-pointed petals of each small star-shaped bloom. It's one of the best butterfly- and hummingbird-attracting plants for a home garden, flowering in dense clusters through the hottest summer months.
Growing Conditions
- Sunlight: More than 4 hours of direct sunlight; tolerates semi-shade to full sun with moderate humidity.
- Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
- Water: Water when the topsoil (2-3 inches) feels dry; regular irrigation keeps leaves from dropping.
Planting & Placement
Grows well in a small-to-medium pot (around 30 cm) or bedded in the ground; can also work as a houseplant with enough light. Best in full sun with moist, well-drained soil.
Care
- Fertilizer: Apply organic fertilizer once a month; water immediately after to avoid root burn.
- Pruning: Remove dead, infected, or damaged plant parts; proper pruning lets it grow as a biennial or perennial instead of just an annual.
Flowering
Flowering typically starts within a month of purchase and continues year-round, producing dense clusters of dark pink, star-shaped blooms.
