thunbergia

Thunbergia 'Blue Glory' requires moderate watering. Water your plant once a week, allowing the soil's surface to dry in between watering. When you water, be sure to water the soil and not just the leaves of the plant. During the summer months, water more frequently – about once every 3 days – but always ensure that the soil surface has a chance to dry out between waterings. Be sure to avoid overwatering which can cause root rot and other problems.

Thunbergia 'Blue Glory' is an annual vine that thrives in areas of full sun and requires at least 6 hours of sunlight each day to stay healthy and produce blooms. This plant should be planted in a spot that gets direct sunlight throughout the morning and until late afternoon for optimal growth. The edges of the foliage can start to scorch if exposed to harsh sunlight during the hottest part of the day. This plant will also tolerate some light shade, however, it will not produce as many flowers and growth may be stunted. During the winter months, be sure to move your thunbergia to an area that receives ample indirect sunlight to keep it healthy.

Thunbergia 'Blue Glory' should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring to encourage new, healthy growth. Remove any dead, diseased, or broken branches and deadhead spent blooms to promote flowering. Pruning should be done just before new growth begins as buds appear to avoid cutting off this year’s flowering stems. When pruning, avoid cutting too much of the plant’s stem and branches as this can potentially harm the plant’s health.
