Hari champa (Artabotrys hexapetalus) Plant
Hari Champa, scientifically known as Artabotrys hexapetalus, is a charming tropical vine famous for its exquisite and fragrant flowers. Native to Southeast Asia and parts of India, this plant is prized for its ornamental and aromatic qualities. The name “Hari Champa” is derived from the Sanskrit words “hari,” meaning green, and “champa,” referring to the fragrant Champa flowers. Hari Champa is primarily an outdoor plant, best suited for tropical and subtropical climates. It flourishes when planted in well-draining soil and provided with plenty of sunlight.
Care Tips:-
1. Sunlight:
- Hari Champa thrives in full to partial sunlight. It requires at least 6 hours of sunlight each day to produce abundant blooms.
2. Soil:
- Use well-draining soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH for Hari Champa. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogged roots, which can lead to root rot.
3. Watering:
- Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season (spring and summer). Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering in the winter, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
4. Mulching:
- Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips or shredded leaves, around the base of the plant. Mulch helps retain moisture, regulates soil temperature, and suppresses weed growth.
5. Fertilization:
- Feed your Hari Champa with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for application rates.
6.Pruning:
- Regularly prune the vine to manage its growth, shape, and size. Pruning can also encourage bushier growth and more flowers. Trim back any dead or overcrowded growth as needed.
