Plant of the Week:
CLERODENDRUM WHITE LIGHT BULB
Meet our newest winter bloomer… the Clerodendrum White Light Bulb. This new weeping houseplant puts on a winter show with pure white flowers cascading from vining stems. It’s bulb-like flowers hang down about one foot and usually begin blooming in deep winter. You’ll love these flowering vines as they move and sway against deep green foliage.
To prune Clerodendrum, simply shear it during the summer – but not later than early September so the blooming cycle is not disrupted. During the summer, this plant will grow vigorously. You can even give this plant some time outdoors in the warm summer months. Then as cold weather sets in and nothing else seems to be blooming, Clerodendrum will give you another blooming show. Let plants cascade naturally, or train on a small trellis to grow upright. It prefers a wet/dry watering cycle, but don’t let this one get too dry. Keep it in a sunny spot during winter and move to partial shade during the summer.
