I live in cantral Phoenix AZ. I need advice on how to care for vinca plant/flower?
Thanks for visiting our website. Vinca are very easy to care for. They need lots of sun and lots of heat. They are drought tolerant and let you know when they need water when they start to wilt a little. They do not like to stay wet so try not to over water them. They also do not like to go to bed wet so try to water early in the day if possible.
Vincas are susceptible to aerial phytopthera and if yours start to die off for no reason, this is why. Cool and wet environments make the vinca more susceptible to the phytopthera.
Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any more questions.
Very Imformative!
