CARE GUIDE

How to keep Kickxia Commutata.

Temperature

Mediterranean fluellin can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution may still be restricted by different combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer climates with sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather, as well as prolonged high temperatures, can raise the chances of Mediterranean fluellin dying. In winter, adequate protection from cold can increase the plant’s likelihood of survival.

Fertilizer

Mediterranean fluellin benefits from regular, dilute fertilizer applications to encourage healthy leaf growth. Fertilize Mediterranean fluellin about once a month during the summer. Nitrogen is important for foliage, and adding nitrogen-rich sources helps Mediterranean fluellin thrive.
