Abutilon Orange. An attractive evergreen shrub, producing masses of lantern-like orange flowers in summer. With its long flowering season and easy care it makes it a good choice for the garden. Prune in early spring to maintain shape.
Trimming: Prune Abutilon in early spring to maintain shape and encourage healthy growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches, and lightly trim throughout the growing season if needed.
Deadheading: Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong flowering and keep the plant tidy.
Fertilising: Feed with a balanced, liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to support vigorous growth and flowering. Reduce feeding in winter.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply during dry periods, particularly in hot weather or for container-grown plants.
Pest Control: Check for common pests like aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil to manage infestations.
Disease Management: Abutilon may be prone to powdery mildew and rust in humid conditions. Ensure good air circulation, avoid overhead watering, and treat with fungicide if necessary. Remove and dispose of affected leaves promptly.
