Description | While tecoma stans is a hardy plant and can grow in almost all types of soil, it prefers organically rich, moderately moist, and well-drained soil.The water requirements of the ginger-thomas plant are moderate; it prefers moderately moist soil.However, it is also drought tolerant and is considered one of the easiest plants to grow in desert landscapes.It doesn’t like waterlogged soil and wet roots.Too much water will damage the plant, often causing rot and mildew.Therefore, be careful of watering and add about 1″ – 2″ inch compost layer into the soil, if it’s not well-draining.However, if it is not growing and/or flowering properly despite the right growing conditions and care, feed it with an all-purpose fertilizer.Once established, trumpet-creeper doesn’t need much maintenance. However, pruning and pinching the spent pods and flowers encourage bushiness and blooming.Cut back your yellow bell plant, if it gets damaged or dies in the winter, to encourage new growth.Since the plant grows at a fast rate and spreads up to several feet, it is recommended to plant it at a site where it has plenty of room for growth. |
