🌿 Pink Lady Hanging Plant Care

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright indirect light
• Can tolerate soft morning sun
• More light = better pink color
• Avoid harsh afternoon sun (causes leaf burn)

💧 Water

• Water when top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry
• Keep soil slightly moist, not soggy
• Reduce watering in winter
• Overwatering causes root rot

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–30°C
• Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 12°C

💦 Humidity

• Normal room humidity is enough
• Occasional misting helps in dry weather

🌱 Soil

• Use well-draining, light potting mix
• Mix garden soil + cocopeat + perlite/sand

🌼 Fertilizer

• Feed every 2–3 weeks during growing season
• Use balanced liquid fertilizer (half strength)
• Stop feeding in winter

✂️ Pruning

• Regular pinching encourages bushy growth
• Trim leggy stems to maintain shape
• Cuttings root easily in water or soil

🪴 Repotting

• Repot once roots fill the pot
• Best done in spring or early summer

🐛 Common Problems

• Faded color → low light
