Care tips

A light, sunny location

The Crossandra likes a bright spot, but try to avoid placing it in full sunlight. In the summer months, the Crossandra Fortuna can also be placed very well outside.

Keep moist, the potting soil must not dry out

It is important to water the plant sufficiently to enjoy this enchanting plant for as long as possible. Do not let the pot ball dry out in any case; twice a week the plant may stand with its feet in a layer of water. Give some plant food once a month.

Remove old flowers

To enjoy this beautiful plant for longer, it is advisable to remove the older flowers from time to time. The plant will then continue to flower more easily and display a rich display of flowers for months.
