| Plumbago - Nice growth in a sunny place |
In November I saw the Plumbago was not doing so well. The plant was looking rather weak and the foliage was sort of drooping down. I decided it was not getting enough sun so I transferred it to a sunny place.
This was a good decision because it got about 6 hours of sunshine a day when the weather permitted and flowered all throughout the winter. I was careful to shelter it from the wind as it can get very windy here and it can damage the plant. I was worried that the rain will also damage the leaves and flowers as they are very delicate so again I thought of sheltering it a bit from the rain as well.

The foliage increased greatly and with the added hours of sunlight I got quite alot of flowers in winter. This confirms that the shady spot I put it earlier this year was not doing anything for the plant in terms of flowers.
