BRUNFELSIA LATIFOLIA
Brunfelsia latifolia, commonly known as Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow or Kiss Me Quick, is a charming flowering shrub. This evergreen plant belongs to the Solanaceae family, which includes well-known species such as tomatoes and potatoes. What makes Brunfelsia latifolia particularly captivating is its unique flowers that change color over a span of a few days, hence its common name “Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.”
How To Care
Light: Place your Brunfelsia latifolia in a location with bright, indirect sunlight.
Water:Â Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Fertilizer: Feed your Brunfelsia latifolia with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilization in fall and winter.
Temperature: This plant thrives in warm temperatures between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C).
Potting: Use a potting mix that is well-draining to prevent waterlogging, as this plant prefers moist but not soggy soil. As the plant grows, it may require repotting every couple of years to provide ample space for root development.
Pruning: Prune your plant after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage bushy growth. Remove dead or diseased branches and spent flowers regularly to promote new blooms.
