Healthy Tips for Jai Juhi Fragrant Plant
We had grown pink, red, maroon, white shaded with magenta and of course the one in the photograph is the deep magenta colour that looks very attractive from far away also and is the focal point in the garden. How to save diseased Periwinkle watch this short informative video on my You Tube Channel the Red Pilgrim.

Sada Phuli Everygreen peri winkle care and tips for flowering- Though the plant looks an easy grower and we often see the plants growing even in nooks and corners of walls and on the ground where the seeds may have been transferred by wind, the plant when grown in containers does need some care to always be in bloom. I had a friend who had this plant that would not bloom ever! Few tips for flowering of the sada phuli if your plant is stubborn and does not give any blooms!!!, sunlight, full direct sunlight for at least some part of the day. Water carefully when the plant is grown in plastic container as the roots will rot if the water is not drained properly.

Trim the flowering ends when the blooms have fallen to encourage more blooms and healthy growth. This has worked wonders for my peri winkle plants. It would be best to keep trimming after few months when the plant grows into any direction to give it proper shape and encourage healthy growth. Trimming brings healthy strong plant stems and encourages flowering. You can also add few balls of fertilizer available at your local nursery if your plant is not giving any blooms, though this a rare case! We actually had the no flowering type hence the post came up because I thought it was acting weird and maybe the sada phuli too has infertile species!
Do not over water your plant as the mud will become soggy and the plant will not take root. Touch your plant and see whether the plant has rooted well, in most cases the plant comes out loose and hence the dull looking growth and no blooms. The plant will take care of itself by multiplying by its own seeds and you will see many small sada phuli plants coming out from all directions and all neighboring pots.
In case all efforts for making the plant bloom seem futile maybe the plant is non fertile, just get another one! sometimes they too are infertile!
