Lantana Camara Seeds بذور لانتانا كامارا

Growing Lantana Camara:

• Planting Time: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or sow directly outdoors after frost danger has passed.
• Soil Requirements: Lantana Camara thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0). It can tolerate poor soil conditions but performs best in fertile soil.
• Light: Requires full sun (6-8 hours of sunlight) for optimal flowering. It can tolerate partial shade, but it may result in fewer blooms.
• Spacing: Plant seeds or transplants about 12-18 inches apart to allow enough room for growth.

Care Tips:

• Pruning: Prune regularly to encourage bushy growth and to remove faded flowers (deadheading). This promotes continuous blooming.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once a month during the growing season. Over-fertilizing can reduce blooms.
• Pest & Disease Control: Generally pest-resistant, but watch out for aphids and spider mites. Treat with insecticidal soap if needed.

Watering:

• Initial Watering: Keep the soil moist while the plant is young and establishing roots.
• Once Established: Lantana is drought-tolerant, so water deeply but infrequently. Let the soil dry out between waterings to avoid overwatering, which can cause root rot.
• Watering Schedule: Water once a week during dry spells or if the plant shows signs of wilting. Avoid keeping the soil soggy.

Temperature:

• Ideal Temperature: Lantana prefers warm temperatures between 60-85°F (15-30°C). It thrives in hot climates.
• Cold Tolerance: Lantana is frost-sensitive and should be protected from temperatures below 28°F (-2°C). In colder regions, it is treated as an annual or brought indoors during winter.
• Hardiness Zones: Best grown in USDA zones 8-11. In cooler climates, it can be grown as a perennial in pots and overwintered indoors.
