| Duranta | |
| Mary Stephenson from USA asks: | I have a duranta planted in the ground in an enclosed, screened patio. It was so heavy with leaves that I had to trim it earlier in the summer. Now the leaves are falling constantly and it`s almost bare!! We have had more than our share of rain (San Antonio, TX), and I`m wondering if this has anything to do with the shedding. If not, what could the problem be? Thanks for your advice. |
| Stephanie Taksey from United States asks: | I live in South Florida and want to know: if I put the plant in a large pot and keep it on the patio, will it live? |
| Stephanie from USA asks: | I bought it in one of those black plastic pots from the store. Can I keep it in that pot or should I put it in a bigger pot? Will it even grow in a pot? |

| Robin from USA asks: | I got this from the green house stating that it was a good florida plant sturdy for both sun and shade. I was hoping to get some more care tips for the plants so as not to send them to an early death. Could you please help me! Thank you. |
| Yourgarden Specialist Marian says : | Did you mean: Duranta repens `Goldii`. Care: requires a minimum of 4 hrs. of direct sunlight. If the plant is not given the required amount of sunlight, the leaves can revert back to green colour. The soil moist, but well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Give standard liquid fertilizer every two months. Water plentifully during the growing season, but do not allow the plant to stand in water. Prune to encourage branching. Pruning can also be done to keep the plant in keep the plant in shape. |
