Growing Requirements of Parijat

Sunlight

The plant loves sunlight. Once matured, keep it at a location that gets 5-6 hours of direct sun. Avoid keeping it at a shady place, as it will result in stunted growth and less or no flowers.

Watering

Keep the soil slightly moist but not damp. Water the soil only when the topsoil feels dry to touch.

Soil

Use well-draining, moist, porous, and fertile soil. Amend it with organic matter like compost, vermiculture, or aged cow dung manure.

For containers, you can use any standard potting mix available for potted plants. You can also DIY a soil mix by mixing equal parts of garden soil, coarse sand, and cow dung manure.
