Growing Requirements

Sunlight for Crape Myrtle Black Diamond Red Plant

This plant flourishes in full sun, requiring at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce its vibrant red blooms and maintain healthy foliage.

Watering

Water regularly during the initial growing phase to establish roots. Once established, it becomes drought-tolerant, needing only moderate watering when the topsoil feels dry. Avoid overwatering.

Fertilizing for Crape Myrtle Black Diamond Red Plant

Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring to boost growth and flowering. Avoid excess nitrogen, as it may promote foliage over blooms. Feed once or twice a year.

Planting and Care

Container

Use a large, durable container with drainage holes to support its root system. Ensure the pot is placed in a sunny outdoor location with well-draining soil for optimal growth and flowering.

Pruning

Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crossing branches and to shape the plant. Proper pruning encourages strong new growth and abundant red blooms in the growing season.

Propagation

Propagate using softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings in late spring or early summer. Dip cut ends in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining soil until roots develop. Keep in a warm, bright location.

Repotting

Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound, preferably in early spring. Choose a slightly larger container with good drainage and refresh with nutrient-rich, well-draining soil to support healthy growth and blooming.
