Turnera odorata

Yellow alder thrives when it receives plenty of light throughout the day. It is also tolerant of conditions with lower light levels. From seedling to maturity, appropriate light exposure promotes vigorous growth. Both excessive light and insufficient light can damage its health, diminishing its lushness and vibrancy.

Native to temperate regions, yellow alder prefers a narrow temperature range of 59 to 100.4 °F (15 to 38 ℃). For optimal growth, its surrounding temperature must be adjusted carefully during extremely cold or hot seasons.

Timing is important when fertilizing Yellow alder. Apply fertilizer in early spring and continue monthly until early summer. The fertilizer promotes lovely blooms and supplies energy during both dormant and active growth phases.
