CLERODENDRUM CARE.
Clerodendrums are easy to grow plants that produce abundant, lightly scented flowers. Clerodendrums will grow happily and flower in a pot or in-ground. They add a beautiful accent to any outdoor space, garden or patio. In cooler zones a containerized Clerodendrum can be relocated indoors for the winter months.
When you receive your new Clerodendrum, there is no need to worry about planting right away. Your new plant can be stored for a while by simply placing it in a bucket with about a half inch of water and moving it to a shady location, simply keep moist. This will give you plenty of time to select the ideal location for your new Clerodendrum.

CONTAINER SIZE.
All Clerodendrum varieties grow very well in containers, indoors or on the patio. Smaller varieties grow best indoors in 10″ to 14″ diameter pots while larger varieties need enough room for growth, generally a 14″ to a 24″ diameter, 14″ deep container will suffice. Remember the looser the roots, the taller and healthier your Clerodendrum will be. When the plant becomes root bound its growth will slow, at that point it is time for a larger pot.

SOIL.
Bleeding Heart Clerodendrum enjoy a well drained, potting mix easily found at your local box store. Remember try to stay away from arid or wet, mucky soils.

FERTILIZER.
To help establish your new Bleeding Heart Clerodendrum, fertilize sparingly ten inches away from the base, tri-annually with a slow time released product. Unfertilized they will tend to grow at a slower pace. Note: The heavy salts in cheaper fertilizers will damage the roots and possibly kill the plant. Its best to use a brand you know and trust.

GROW ZONE & LIGHT.
Best outdoors if grown in zone 9b-11, find your zone here. This Clerodendrum requires 75-95% sunlight. Depending on your location full sun is often best. In the northern end of their grow zone Bleeding Heart Clerodendrum should be brought indoors or protected during the winter months. The patio zone is 4a-11 which means the potted plant will flourish over the summer months in colder zones but must be brought inside before winter.
