Tips for Thriving Heliconias

Plant heliconias in an area with dappled sunlight and well-draining soil. Water heliconias regularly, ensuring the soil stays consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize heliconias every 2-3 months with a balanced fertilizer high in phosphorus for vibrant blooms. Prune spent flowers and dead leaves to promote new growth. Watch for pests like thrips and caterpillars, treating them with insecticidal soap as needed.
