Planting & Care  

SunLight: Duranta plants need full light to get the energy they need to make blooms and berries. Plants growing in too much shade get lanky and sparse.

Soil: provide rich, loamy soil to help plants reach their potential in one growing season.

Watering:  Duranta plants need a moderate amount of water. Plants growing outdoors need the equivalent of about an inch of rain per week.

Fertilizer: Duranta plants are not heavy feeders and can get by without any supplemental fertilizer in good soils. 

Temperature: Maintain a temperature of about 20-25 degrees C

Pruning:  duranta plants form flowers on new growth, you can cut the plant back severely in winter in preparation for the burst of growth that occurs in spring.
