pink shower

Pink Shower plants should be watered once every 7-10 days or when the soil has completely dried out. They do not like their roots to be soggy and will rot if overwatered. Water should be applied liberally until the entirety of the soil is damp. Soil should be damp to the touch, but not saturated. Allow excess water to fully drain from the drainage holes in the bottom of the container and never allow plants to sit in water. A general rule is to water about 1-2 cups per gallon of soil. Be sure to adjust the water amount accordingly with changing temperatures.

In general, Pink Shower plants (Cassia grandis) should receive about 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth. It may be beneficial for the plant to receive extra hours of indirect sunlight in order to provide sufficient light requirements to also promote flowering. The amount of direct sunlight is best when received during the morning and early evening hours, when the sun is less intense. Avoid placing the plant in direct sun during the hottest part of the day (noon).

Pruning of pink shower (Cassia grandis) should be done for the first time in early spring or as needed throughout the year. This is a vigorous, fast-growing tree, with its primary flush of growth in late spring and summer. To maintain its shape and encourage a dense canopy, you should cut back the branches that have grown out of shape. Pruning should be done between mid-spring and the end of summer. After the main flush of growth, you can cut out any branches that are too long, or those that are crossing and competing with other branches. You should also trim back new growth to encourage lateral branching. Finally, remove any dead or diseased wood, as well as any malformed branches.
