FAQs
FAQs
Does Pentas attract pollinators?
Yes - it's one of the best butterfly- and hummingbird-attracting plants you can grow.
Can it be grown as a houseplant?
Yes, if it gets enough bright light indoors; otherwise it does best outdoors in full or semi-shade sun.
Why are the lower leaves dropping?
This usually means irregular watering - Pentas needs consistent moisture or it drops lower leaves and looks leggy.
How long is Pentas expected to live?
It's often grown as an annual, but with proper pruning and care it can perform as a biennial or perennial.
