It is also extremely easy to maintain Catharanthus roseus. After buying the young plant pot, we directly replace it with a larger pot and then choose to plant it with nutrient-rich soil. After planting, it can be placed in the sun to bask. The more abundant the sunlight, the more vigorous the flowers and the brighter the colors. This plant is not afraid of sun or heat, so it is best to plant it in a full-sun outdoor environment.
If it is grown indoors, it is recommended to place it on a south-facing balcony or near a window, as sufficient light promotes more blooms. Catharanthus roseus does not like too much water, so it's best to keep the potting soil slightly dry. It is also very tolerant of poor soil, needing only a granular compound fertilizer every half a year to meet its growth needs. However, Catharanthus roseus is not cold-resistant, and it needs to be kept above 15 degrees Celsius in winter to continue blooming.
Catharanthus roseus grows very vigorously, so if it is a potted plant, it is recommended to do a topping treatment in the early stage. This can not only inhibit its height but also promote more branching, making the plant more lush and resulting in more flowers. Catharanthus roseus not only has a strong blooming ability but also a very high seed-setting rate. It will set seeds as it blooms, so we need to observe the plant frequently and harvest the mature seed pods in time. Then, we can plant them in the soil the following spring.
