| Plumbago - looking fuller but few buds |
The Plumbago is doing very well but the growth rate is very slow. I had read that this is a fast growing plant that if not kept in check can overwhelm the space. I don't think there is chance of that happening here.
The plant only gets a few hours of sunlight a day and since we are now towards the end of September it's not that strong. The foliage is getting fuller and I have a few buds which look promising but nowhere near what I thought it would be. I also think the pot it too large for this plant for now. I put it in a larger pot as I thought it would grow very fast but as I said it doesn't seem to be the case.
I test the soil with my fingers and if it's dry I water it, and I try to fertilise it regularly but still it's a slow grower. The good news is I had some flowers the other day and I was surprised to see that they were white. My plumbago is an imperial blue so I was quite surprised to see white flowers there. The plant is in the shade for most of the day so perhaps that's the reason, it's not getting enough sun. I will have to move it to a sunnier place in Winter.
