To grow trailing abutilon well, we first need to understand its growth habits and growing environment. So below, the editor will introduce it from several aspects: sunlight, temperature, fertilizer and water. Let's keep reading.

1. Sunlight

Trailing abutilon likes a warm and humid growing environment and is also tolerant of partial shade, so we can grow it according to this habit. In summer, we can place trailing abutilon in a cool environment with scattered light for cultivation. Never put trailing abutilon under strong direct sunlight to avoid sunburning the leaves. After winter begins, it needs to be placed in a bright position, and there must be sufficient light conditions in winter.

2. Temperature

In summer, the best temperature is controlled between 10-25 degrees. If the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, trailing abutilon cannot stand it, which will slow down its growth rate. If the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, the plant will die, so be sure to control the temperature well in summer. In winter, it should be kept above 5 degrees. In winter, attention should be paid to keeping it warm, and it will only grow normally when the temperature is above 10 degrees.

3. Fertilizer

As for fertilizing, apart from summer, when fertilizing can be done normally if environmental conditions allow, applying fertilizer once every 10-15 days in other seasons is enough. This can extend its flowering period. But if it is a plant that has been grown for many years, fertilizing in summer is not recommended, and fertilizing can be stopped completely.

4. Water

In spring and autumn, keep the soil moist. Water when the soil becomes somewhat dry. In summer, watering should be controlled so that the soil remains slightly dry. When the soil is somewhat dry, you can spray a little water around the pot soil to maintain the humidity in the air and the moisture of the soil, which is relatively beneficial for the growth of new buds.
