Planting & Care

1. Planting: Evenly moist, well-drained soil and partial shade to partial sun (around 4 to 6 hours of sunlight a day) are important for your Orange Marmalade to thrive. Once you’ve chosen a location with both, dig a hole that’s approximately 2 or 3 times the width of your plant’s root ball, place the plant, back fill its soil and water to settle the roots. Also, be sure to protect your Crossandra from harsh afternoon sun during summer or any hotter areas.

2. Watering: Water your Orange Marmalade regularly, about once per week or more often during extreme heat to maintain its semi-moist soil. If you’re not sure when to water your Orange, check for soil dryness about 2 to 3 inches down in the surrounding soil. If it’s dry, it’s time to water.

3. Fertilizing: Feed your Orange Marmalade with a well-balanced fertilizer before new growth begins in the spring. If you’re growing it indoors, feed with a house plant blend more regularly according to the label instructions.

4. Pruning: Remove any spent blooms to encourage more flowering.
