How to keep Convolvulus Humilis.

Light

Silvery-leaved pink convolvulus is a perennial herbaceous plant that prefers sunny sites and comes from open habitats, commonly growing in meadows and grasslands. It favors full sun but can withstand partial sun conditions.

Temperature

Silvery-leaved pink convolvulus comes from tropical areas where the climate is generally warm and humid. For that reason it is well adapted to high temperatures and moisture. It is sensitive to sudden temperature changes and prefers a stable thermal environment, so avoiding temperature fluctuations indoors is important. It normally cannot tolerate cold and requires warmer conditions to grow. If the surrounding temperature falls too low, the plant may stop growing or even die.

Fertilizer

Proper fertilization is essential for Silvery-leaved pink convolvulus's health and looks. Feed Silvery-leaved pink convolvulus in summer, applying fertilizer once a month throughout the season. The nutrients provide energy for growth and help maintain the plant's parts. Fertilizing improves Silvery-leaved pink convolvulus's flowering display, producing the best blooms.
