Adenium
Adenium desert roses are basically long lived, succulent perennials from tropical regions. They are generally, not desert plants, but are tough. The only way to kill established plants is to provide a combination of wet and cold or to over water them in a sticky, poorly draining medium. Once night temperatures go below 10 deg C, plants need to be kept quite dry or they will rot.

Aechmea bromelaid
In summer, these bromelaids enjoy moving outdoors, provided temperatures range between 21 to 30 degrees C. Daily watering can kill the plants, replenish water when it dries out, at least every 5-10 days. Lightly water the roots weekly in the summer, and less often in the winter. Do not allow the roots to dry out completely in any season.

Anthurium
Anthuriums thrive when the night temperature is never lower than 15°C and the day temperature is about 30°C. Shading from sunlight is necessary for normal growth for anthuriums. The degree of shading varies with the cultivar, the age of the plant, and the climate under which it is grown. Insufficient shading often results in damage to leaves and flowers, and may cause plant death. Damage to flowers include fading and burning of spadices.

Begonia
Begonias will not tolerate frost, and most dislike direct sunlight except for some morning sun. They are able to store moisture and need less frequent watering. However, they prefer a humid environment with adequate ventilation to avoid diseases, and getting this balance of moisture and ventilation just right is the key to success. Plants grown indoors will benefit from grouping plants together, occasional misting and by placing shallow containers of water nearby to increase humidity.

Bird of Paradise
Strelitzia reginae Bird-of-paradise grows in most soils, but does best in fertile, organic soils with good drainage. It is considered to be a slow growing plant. For good flower production, place plants in sunny or partially shaded locations. Plants grown in partial shade will be taller and have somewhat larger flowers. In full sun, plants are smaller and flowers are on shorter stems. The bird of paradise will tolerate light salt spray but should not be used in exposed locations near the ocean.

Bougainvillea
Bougainvillea spectabilis Bougainvillea need very bright light (2,500 fc) and do well under high shade or in full sun. These vines typically lose some leaves for a short time during the winter, but when light conditions are low, leaf loss may occur at any time. Under high light conditions, the colorful bracts will adorn the plant almost constantly and will persist for weeks. These plants flower best under stress. Keep the plant slightly on the dry side, and allow the plant to become root bound.

Callistemon bottle brush
This is adaptable to cultivation where it is a very hardy plant with distinctive large leaves and flowers, it attracts native bird species particularly honey-eaters. The plant will withstand very dry conditions although will respond to ample moisture. It is frost hardy plant, responds well to pruning and dense growth can be achieved by pruning just behind the spent flowers immediately after flowering. This has the added benefit of producing new growth and an increased number of flowers the next season. It also responds well to fairly heavy mulching and fertilizer.

Canna
Plant your cannas in the full sun. A minimum of 6 hours direct sunlight is required, the more sunlight, the better. If your cannas are stunted and do not bloom, one reason is that they may not be getting enough sunlight. After planting, keep the rhizomes moist but not wet. When new growth appears they can be watered more heavily and tolerate wetter soil. Keeping a layer of mulch on and around the cannas will conserve water and will keep the weeds from growing.

Fuschia
Fuschias have exotic-looking flowers; their two-tone colors are brilliant. The shape of the flower is quite unusual and they are quite delicate. They are perfect for hanging baskets. If cared for properly, this plant will produce an abundance of gorgeous flowers all summer long. Hang or plant your fuschia in a semi-shaded area. They prefer cooler temperatures and not too much sun. Fertilize regularly. Every 2-4 weeks is a good standard. Limit watering and application of fertilizer in late summer so the fuschia plant will prepare for wintering.

Geranium
Although they can weather a light frost, geraniums love to bask in warm-weather. Most types flower best in full sun, at least six hours of direct sun a day. Many geraniums do quite well in part shade, but they won't flower as prolifically. They like rich soil that is well drained. Compost added to your soil will give them an added boost. Give them fertilizer once a month at the very least. Water them thoroughly, but let the soil dry between watering. Be sure to water the plants regularly when it doesn't rain. Leaves can die and turn brown from excess moisture and humidity. Keep your plants looking their best by deadheading them and removing dried or discolored leaves. Your geraniums will reward you by looking great all season.

Heliconia
They need plenty of water while growing and some species need also good shade. Normally the plant thrives well in partial shade of around 50%. After your first time watering we would not water in the future until we find that the surface soil is dry to the touch. It is very important that you do not keep the soil wet. Heliconia happen to like warm temperatures and bright light to grow strong. An ideal temperature would be 74 degree F with humidity over 40%.

Hibiscus
Healthy, fertilized plants are more tolerant of insect attacks. Be sure plants are well watered before applying chemicals. The best time to spray for insects is in the morning or evening (temperature under 80) and be sure to cover the undersides of leaves. For heavy or consistent infestations, spray every 5-7 days (4 applications) to break the life cycle. Add water soluble fertilizer and unscented liquid detergent soap to your mixture when spraying.

Ixora
Ixora, like other acid-loving plants can be an attractive landscape plant, requires more fertilization management. Avoid planting Ixora or any acid-loving plant close to your concrete foundation,as it may cause soil pH to be too high for good plant growth. This low-growing evergreen shrub can grow between 3 and 8 feet tall. Ixora can be used for hedges, specimen plants, or can be grown in large planter boxes. It likes full sun but will tolerate light shade. It has medium salt tolerance. Do not overwater.

Jasmine
These plants prefer full sun to partial shade and a warm site. They grow well in moist, well drained, sandy loam to clayey garden soil with moderate level of fertility. Adding of leaf molds to the soil makes it better for the growth of the plant. Mild fertilizer should be applied during spring. Plenty of water should be given during summer but this can be reduced during winter. If the plant is to be grown indoors, then bright indirect or curtain-filtered sunlight should be given. In winter these indoor plant should be provided with full sunlight up to at least four hours a day.

Lantana
Lantanas generally grow rapidly. If plants outgrow their assigned space, they tolerate trimming back well during the growing season. It is valued for its long season of reliable bloom. The flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Use them as annuals or perennials in flowerbeds or containers. Spreading cultivars are attractive as groundcovers or trailing over containers and walls.Grow lantana in full sun, it is tolerant to salt and is an excellent choice for plantings near the beach, prefers warm soil, newly planted lantanas will need to be kept moist for the first few weeks until the roots have spread.

Lotus
Ideally they like 4 to 10" of water over the pot. Start out in the spring at a shallow depth of a couple of inches over the rim of the pan. This shallow depth will be warmer too. As new growth begins to sprout the pan can be gradually lowered to a deeper depth, but no deeper than 10 inches, if need be. It is recommend that you float your lotus tuber in aged pond water for 10-14 days in a warm sunny place before planting. This allows the tuber to sprout and will increase your success in growing lotus. Be sure to change the water if it becomes nasty.

Musanda
They'll perform even better when located in full sun all day. The more shade they receive, the fewer flowers they'll produce. Impatiens are a better choice for blooming in shady places. While soil needn't be terribly rich to grow good petunias, it must drain decently. It's always useful to improve garden soil by conditioning it with organic matter, such as baled peat moss, well-rotted leaf compost or manure.

Parijatha
Nyctanthes arbor-tristis - grows as large shrub or small tree depending on how it is trained. The large attractive leaves are rough and hairy. The sweet scented flowers are small, attractive with white petals and an orange-red tube in center and bloom profusely, opening at night and drop off in the morning, thus making a carpet of flowers in the morning. Used for worship. Needs warmth during winter months. Use well drained soil and fertilize once a month.

Plumeria
This is an exotic tropical that is easy to grow in the hotter areas. Plumeria require at least a half day of full sun to produce blooms. Plants should be allowed to dry out between watering, but excessive dryness will result in foliage loss. Plumeria require fertilizer high in phosphorus (the middle number). To keep the plant compact, avoid fertilizers high in nitrogen.

Rose
This plant needs plenty of sunshine. If that is not available, roses will tolerate partial shade. My rosegarden is in partial shade, and they grow quite well. Requires a lot of food and nutrients. When planting roses, make sure to mix in generous portions of compost and manure into the native garden soil. If this is not available, add store bought peat moss and cow manure. Provide plenty of nutrients. What you add to your soil will get them off to a great start, but they will favorably respond to additional fertilizer added year after year.

Spathiphyllum
It will not tolerate high light intensities without reduction in quality. Slow release fertilizers and constant feed fertilization are equally effective methods of applying nutrients. A potting soil with good aeration and high water holding capacity is necessary. Spathiphyllum will survive between temperatures of 40-100°F, but should be maintained between 65-90°F for best growth.

Verbena
Verbenas vary considerably in size. The ground skimming moss verbena and trailing verbena reach 1 foot or less in height and spread from 2 to 5 feet wide. Verbenas generally grow moderately to quickly, and unlike many perennials, bloom well the first season after planting. Some varieties, such as 'Homestead Purple', are extremely vigorous. If plants outgrow their assigned space, they tolerate trimming back well. They require a location that receives full sun throughout the day. They must have well-drained soil. They will not tolerate overcrowding with poor air circulation, shade or soil that stays overly moist. Pinch the tips of the branches at planting time to encourage dense branching and a fuller plant.
