Lantana likes a warm and sunny environment and should be planted in a sunny place. In winter, they should be raised in a place with better lighting. In summer, if the sun is too strong, they need to be properly shaded. Potted plants should also be placed in sunny places, such as balconies, windowsills, etc.

2. Soil

Lantana flowers are distributed in areas such as the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The soil is mostly acidic, so the pH of the soil is controlled between 5.5 and 6.5 during planting and cultivation. The humus requirements of the soil are relatively high. The water must be drainable. Although the tower likes fertile soil, the amount must be controlled, otherwise it will lead to problems such as root rot and death.

3. Moisture

Keep the soil moist, because Lantana is not tolerant to waterlogging, so it is not advisable to water too much. The principle of watering is to be dry and wet. For example, when there is plenty of rain in summer, you can water appropriately or not at all depending on how moist the soil is. During drought in winter, you can water a small amount.

4. Nutrients

Usually top-dressing is required in a timely manner, but it is not advisable to apply too much fertilizer. The commonly used fertilizer is alum fertilizer and water, which can be applied two to three times a month. When the flower buds differentiate into buds, some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers must be applied.
