Egg flower alias Burma Gardenia, egg yolk flower is a flowering deciduous tree, often referred to as feather or egg flower, belongs to the tropics. In cold climates, you can plant them in flowerpots in spring and summer and bring them indoors in winter. Egg flower is widely planted as one of the "five trees and six flowers" by Buddhist monasteries in Xishuangbanna, China and some Southeast Asian countries, so it is also known as "Temple Tree" or "Tower Tree".

Soil

It is suitable for soil with good drainage and rich nutrition. It can be configured like this: a combination of 1 coconut shell or peat moss, 1 perlite, 1 pumice and 1 compost. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of blood meal or bone meal. Need plenty of sunlight and grow in a variety of soils with pH values between 6. 6 and 7. 5.

Water demand

Spray water once a week during the growing season from April to September. Let the soil around the egg flower dry between watering, and then soak deeply. If there is not enough water in summer, egg blossoms will bloom less. I don't like wet soil.

Chemical fertilizers and pests

Fertilize twice a month during the spring and summer growing seasons. You should use 1 to 2 tablespoons of 10-52-10 water-soluble fertilizer to fertilize potted egg flowers. Stop fertilizing at the end of summer, so that the new growth will harden before winter. Watch out for the infection of pink insects, white flies and spider mites.
