Care Guide

💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun

Woolflowers originate in bright, open habitats and flourish in full sun. They can tolerate partial sun but favor direct sunlight for optimal growth. This annual or biennial plant is known for its sun-loving nature.

Ideal: Full sun
🌡️ Temperature 20–37.8°C

Woolflowers originate from tropical regions, where the climate is generally warm and humid. Consequently, they are well adapted to high temperatures and humidity. They do not tolerate sudden temperature changes and prefer a steady thermal environment, so avoiding temperature fluctuations indoors is important. They typically cannot withstand cold and need warmer conditions to grow. If the surrounding temperature drops too low, the plant may stop growing or even die.

Ideal temperature: 20–37.8°C

🌱 Fertilizer

When most of Woolflowers' blooms have opened to full size, resume fertilizing. At the point when blooms are at their peak, apply fertilizer every three to four weeks, as the weather allows. Then, once Woolflowers begins producing fewer new blooms, stop fertilizing; there's no need to feed the plant when it can no longer produce more blooms.
