Crossandra Yellow Splash likes to grow if planted in the monsoon or early winter period, i.e., June to November. It will provide sufficient time to the plant to establish solid roots before the scorching summer seasons.

Crossandra Yellow Splash needs to be planted in well-draining and fertile ground to grow well. Combine garden soil, sand, and compost to make light and loose soil texture.

Crossandra germinate well in a pot, use a medium-sized pot with holes in it. Water the plant extremely often, and keep the soil moist but not flowing. Water more in the summer and less in the winter to avoid fungal disease.

Crossandra prefers the sun and heat. Provide a minimum of 4–6 hours of sunlight daily for flowering and development. But in hot weather, provide filtered shade so leaves won’t dry out. It can be cultivated in partial shade, but dense shade reduces flowering.

For good growth and loads of flowers, fertilize once in fortnight with liquid-balanced fertilizer. Vermicompost and cow dung manure good to use. Avoid providing extra nitrogen as it encourages leaf development and not flowers.

Wilted leaves and dead flowers are removed occasionally to keep the plant healthy. Every other alternate pair of months, pruning the light promotes bushy and flowering. Prune lightly if it turns leggy so that it doesn’t lose its shape. Viola Joker good companion
