thalia

Thalia (Thalia dealbata) should be watered once or twice a week, depending on the season. It is best to water early in the morning or late in the evening, so the plant can absorb as much water as possible before it evaporates. In the summer months, water the Thalia deeply for a quick soaking when the soil begins to feel dry. In the winter months, water less as the plant will not need as much. You can test the soil 1-2 inches down to see if the soil is dry and needs to be watered.

Thalia dealbata typically grows best in full sun, receiving approximately 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. In areas with intense sunlight of more than 10 hours, this plant may become stressed and need protection from direct sun. When grown in partial shade, plants may become elongated and stretched, so extra attention to support the stems may be necessary. Summers with intense sunlight and heat may cause fading in its coloration, so some afternoon shade may be beneficial. In the winter, Thalia dealbata prefers full sun, as this enhances its flowering expression and growth.

Thalia (Thalia dealbata) is a tropical perennial that prefers mild climates and plenty of sun. To keep it looking its best, prune Thalia regularly; in the springtime a light pruning after flowering will help promote new growth and shape the plant. To maintain a desired size and shape, more substantial pruning can be done during the early winter months. Young Thalia plants should be pruned more often than mature plants in order to maintain their size and shape. Be careful not to prune too much; Thalia responds best to light pruning.
