Abutilon floribundum

probuket

The double-flowered Abutilon will appeal to those who love houseplants with striking blooms. Its lush pink flowers are made up of many petals and resemble little double lanterns that open against a backdrop of variegated foliage. The leaves of the Megapotamicum Abutilon are large, with a distinct pattern, so the plant looks decorative even during its dormant period.

A pot with an Abutilon should be placed on a bright windowsill or in another spot with bright, indirect light. Direct midday rays can cause burns on the leaves, so light shading during the hottest hours will be beneficial. The plant dislikes drafts and sudden temperature changes, so the location should be consistently warm.

Water the Abutilon moderately when the top layer of soil dries out. Standing water in the saucer is harmful to the roots, so excess is poured off some time after watering. Maintain humid air by misting the foliage, avoiding droplets on open flowers. Such care helps the plant keep its shape for a long time and regularly produce new buds.
