Is the chocolate flower actually a sun worshiper or does it prefer shady locations? Do you know the ideal place for the handsome plant? We'll enlighten you.
The chocolate flower loves sun
location claims
The chocolate flower originally comes from Mexico, where a consistently warm climate prevails. It also makes this claim when it is cultivated in this country. The ideal location for the chocolate flower is therefore as follows:
- warm
- bright
- several hours of sunshine daily
- Planting in semi-shade is also possible
- is ideal for the balcony or terrace
- Can be cultivated both in beds and in tubs
Advantages of choosing a suitable location
The chocolate flower develops a beautiful deep red bloom. In the shade, however, their flowers are by no means as lush as in sunny locations. In addition, the flower only exudes its typical scent of milk chocolate in a warm place.
