leopard plant

Leopard plant should be watered approximately once a week. The amount of water that should be used will depend on the size of the pot and the time of year. In summer, when the plant is actively growing, increase the amount of water used to make sure the soil does not dry out. In winter, when the plant is somewhat dormant, reduce the amount of water to let the soil dry slightly between watering. Keep an eye on the top inch or 2 of soil, and if this is dry, it is time to water. Never let the soil become bone dry.

Leopard plant (Farfugium japonicum 'Wavy Gravy') needs to be kept in bright, indirect light for optimal growth. This means that it should be placed in a well-lit area that is not in direct sunlight. For optimal growth, the plant should be kept in bright light for at least 6 hours per day, and in a well-lit area for up to 12 hours. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can burn the leaves and cause the plant to dry out. Additionally, the amount of light should not be too intense, as this can cause the foliage to become leggy and weak. During the summer months, the plant may also benefit from an occasional outdoor, shaded, or light-filtered walk during the day.

Leopard plant pruning should be done in early spring before new growth begins. Pruning should be done sparingly, as only older, leggy, and dead growth should be removed. Pruning should be done to reduce the size of the plant if necessary, as well as to maintain an attractive shape and keep the plant healthy. It is best to prune right after blooming season to ensure you get the best flower display next season. After pruning, be sure to apply a layer of mulch to protect the plant.
