Lantana plants are evergreens of the broadleaf assortment. In spite of the fact that they may act similar to vines, they are grouped by botanists as bushes. But since of the vine-like appearance of their branches, they are frequently developed in hanging pots, in which their branches are permitted to overflow the sides. Lantana plants are known for their adjusted bunches of little, splendidly hued blossoms. The blossoms might be yellow, orange, white, red and purple, and regularly hues are blended inside a similar group, making a bicolored impact. The vast majority despise the smell of the blossoms that sprout from this plant. In any case, the smell of their foliage qualifies them as fragrant plants. The leaves smell like citrus.
Soil –These plants thrive in well-draining soil. They will grow in most soil conditions but prefer slightly acidic soil. Adding a mulch made of pine needles can increase the acidity of the soil.
Water-Water the lantana plant thoroughly and do not let it dry out. With sandy soil, you will likely need to water every day. If the flower blooms have stopped or reduced, try more water.
Temperature and Humidity – The lantana plants may survive in a light frost, but if the temperature dips below 28 degrees Fahrenheit or stays cold for a long time, the plant will die. The plant will thrive in temperatures 55 degrees Fahrenheit or more. The lantana plant is fine with humid weather and can even survive with salt-spray.
Fertilizer – Lantana plants do not require fertilizer. They are very low maintenance and too much fertilizer can decrease the abundance of flowers. If you want, add a balanced, gentle 20-20-20 fertilizer every month.
