Growing Requirements

Sunlight for Purple Crape Myrtle Black Diamond Plant

This plant thrives in full sun, needing at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for vibrant blooms and healthy foliage. More sun equals more flowers.

Watering

Water regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering.

Fertilizing for Purple Crape Myrtle Black Diamond Plant

Feed with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote strong growth and abundant blooms. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which may encourage foliage over flowers.

Planting and Care

Container

Use a large, sturdy container with drainage holes, as this plant needs space for root growth. Choose well-draining soil, and ensure the pot is placed in a sunny outdoor spot for best results.

Pruning

Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and encourage new growth. Remove dead, weak, or crossing branches, but avoid excessive cutting to maintain its natural form and abundant flowering.

Propagation

Propagate through softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer. Use healthy stems, dip in rooting hormone, and plant in well-draining soil. Keep moist and warm until roots develop.

Repotting

Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound, preferably in early spring. Choose a larger container with good drainage and refresh the soil to support healthy growth and flowering.
