Caring Tips:-

1. Sunlight and Location: Place your Mehndi plant in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight. It thrives in warm climates but appreciates protection from harsh afternoon sun.
2. Well-Draining Soil: Opt for a well-draining potting mix, enriched with organic matter. A mix of sand, peat, and compost works well.
3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as the roots can rot.
4. Humidity: Maintain a humid environment, especially in dry climates. Mist the plant regularly or use a humidity tray.
5. Pruning: Trim leggy or damaged branches to encourage bushier growth. Prune after the blooming season.
6. Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
