watering
Rose glory bower requires moderate watering, allowing soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil has dried out. Misting the leaves may also be done, but it is not necessary for the plant’s well-being. During the growth period, from spring to summer, water more frequently. In winter, water less often.
sunlight
Rose glory bower (Clerodendrum bungei) thrives best in bright, indirect sunlight. It should be placed somewhere that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. It grows best with 4-6 hours of direct sunlight and 2-4 hours of dappled shade in the afternoon, or an east-facing window with bright, indirect light. Rose glory bower should be placed away from any sources of direct heat such as air conditioners, furnaces, and heat vents.
pruning
The ideal time to prune rose glory bower (Clerodendrum bungei) is late winter or early spring before new growth appears. When pruning rose glory bower, it is important to remove all dead, damaged or diseased wood. Thinning out branches to open up the center of the plant can also help to improve air circulation and increase light penetration. In most cases, only light pruning is necessary, as this species tolerates heavy pruning well. However, if very heavy pruning is necessary, it should be done in stages with light pruning in late winter or early spring followed by heavier pruning in late spring or summer. Once the desired shape is achieved, rose glory bower should only be pruned to maintain size, shape, and remove dead and damaged growth. When pruning, always use sharp pruners and prune back to a healthy bud or leaf node.
