Strobilanthes Persian Shield
Strobilanthes Persian Shield will thrive in sun or shade.
Provide your Persian Shield plants with plenty of water as they do not like to dry out completely; water just before the soil is dry. During hot and dry times, more watering may be required, and during rainy times, less watering may be needed. Be sure to avoid splashing water on the foliage and blooms when watering, as this can cause diseases.
Fertilize once a month using a liquid fertilizer or add a slow-release fertilizer to the soil according to instructions.
To encourage bushier, thicker Persian Shield plants, feel free to pinch back growth every so often. Colors become more vibrant and pronounced when placed in partial shade. If you find the colors of your Persian Shield becoming somewhat faded, you may want to move it to a more shaded area of your porch or balcony.
