Thank you for this. I enjoyed your detailed descriptions, including the veining of the leaves and use of flowers for Easter services. I'll try cuttings again and expect success!

There’s a house on my way to work that has these in the yard. I always admired how pretty the leaves looked and I could never figure out what species of plant it was through google image search. I didn’t realize it had purple flowers on it until today; they must have just bloomed. That made it so much easier to figure out what plant this was and now I can purchase one! Thanks for teaching us how to take care of it and make more of them!

Thanks for posting this video. My landlord's father brought one back from his country and planted it in the California house I'm now renting. Unfortunately, it's dying in parts due to termite damage. I was wondering if it could be propagated and then I found your video. SO GLAD I found it. Hopefully I can do it and then present it to my landord as a gift.

Thanks for sharing and thank you for following my channel. I too love the Princess flower and propagation is very simple. Great idea to gift it to your landlord and don't forget to also propagate for yourself. Best wishes.

I'm in Northern California. One tibouchina I had in a pot never did well. I planted two in our clay soil. Both have done well with one handling our 100 degree heat in the summer. The other I planted in November well into our cool fall season and it has been blooming all winter. I'm surprised it's handled our cold winter with little direct sunlight while staying in bloom for about 5 weeks now. I've only frost protected it on the nights we get down to freezing.

Help Alice! I have a princess flower that I thought was dead for maybe 4/5 years . However we had a lot of rain about a month & 1/2 age and to my surprise the plant started to emerge, it is now about 2 feet tall. What I need to know is how much fertilizer should I use and how often? Can I send you a picture of the old (dead) plant and the new plant growing at the base of the old plant also can I cut down the old plant just branches no flowers or leaves? Thank you Alice

Hi thanks for sharing. The princess flower can surprice you as once the mature they become somewhat drought tolerant and can appear to have died. I would assume that with these heat waves it conserved itself and as they do like moisture the rain really helped. Feritlizing would be in spring, summer and fall. Manure or fertilizer that is for acid loving plants. Inquire at the garden centre. Also inorder to preserve it add mulch at the bases and water more in summer as they do like moisture. They also do have runners that start at the base and would run alongtheir rooting system. You may just need to prune the branches of the old one down and mulch the base and water deeply once a week to keep soil moist but not soggy. Let see after all that if it revives. Retain the new plants at base and if the old one doesnt revive you can then cut down the old one. DM me the photo and we can decide onnext course of action.

Hi, so glad you love the Princess Flower, I love the blooms. When propagating keep the soil moist but not soggy. By having moist soil the plant will start getting rooting. If the plant has got strong rooting, do move it into a pot and slowly introduce it in your garden. In indirect sun, to ensure that the plant doesnt go into a transplant shock. Once it settles I would continually ensure that the soil is moist especially during summer and also when it starts blooming. Once its completely settled then I would water once a week and gradually lessen as it is drought resistant.

Hi Kelly, I started the propagation during our cold season so everything was slower. Lets say with the right conditions i.e. good growing medium with vermiculite to retain moisture, light but not direct light and in a warm environment should take about two months.

I have one that I planted a couple of years ago. 1) it’s not blooming and 2) can I cut it back to make a shrub
@redsoilgardener
Ай бұрын
Yes, as the flowers form at the tip of the branches, by pruning it, the shrub will become bushier and produce more blooms. From every branch you cut, two branches will form meaning more flowers forming at the tip of the branch.

With the propagation I think it took about two - 3 months. It started slowly and then took off.
