Manimulla (Porana Paniculata)

8-12 inches

Manimulla prefers a bright and sunny location to thrive. It requires at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Therefore, choose a spot in your garden or balcony that receives ample sunlight throughout the day. If grown indoors, place the plant near a sunny window or under grow lights that provide sufficient light intensity.

Proper watering is essential for the healthy growth of Manimulla. It is crucial to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. During the growing season (spring and summer), water the plant regularly, allowing the top inch of the soil to dry between watering sessions. In winter, reduce the frequency of watering as the plant's growth slows down.

Manimulla thrives in well-draining, nutrient-rich soil that provides adequate aeration to the roots. A mixture of garden soil, compost, and sand can be an excellent choice for planting Manimulla. The addition of organic matter like well-rotted compost helps improve soil fertility and moisture retention. The pH level of the soil should be slightly acidic to neutral, preferably between 6.0 to 7.0, which is generally suitable for most garden plants.
