CARE GUIDE

How to keep Cassia Corymbosa.

Light

The Argentine senna does best when it receives abundant sunlight. Its growth, vigor, and ability to flower are greatly improved under those conditions. Native to areas that are thoroughly sunlit, it shows strong tolerance for intense light. Although reduced exposure won't necessarily injure the plant, its growth and flowering may be reduced.

Temperature

Argentine senna is native to regions where temperatures range from 41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 ℃). This temperate plant prefers warm conditions but can adjust to cooler environments. Seasonal measures may be required to protect it from extreme weather fluctuations.

Fertilizer

Timing is important when fertilizing Argentine senna. Apply fertilizer in early spring and then every month through early summer. Fertilizer encourages attractive blooms and supplies energy during both dormant and active growth periods.
