Place Harlequin Glorybower in an area with bright indirect. If leaf tips turn crispy brown, move away from direct southern sun. If stems become leggy, increase light levels.
Soil Moisture & Drainage Check
Always test soil moisture 2 inches beneath the surface before watering (weekly). Ensure pots have adequate drainage holes to prevent moisture stagnation and root rot.
