Crossandra Orange Marmalade Care

The Crossandra Orange Marmalade thrives with bright, indirect light, consistent moisture, and warmth. Protect it from harsh midday sun and cold drafts, and feed lightly during the growing season. Keep the soil evenly moist but never waterlogged for steady flowering.

Sunlight: Plant in partial sun or bright, filtered light; protect from harsh afternoon sun in hot climates.

Watering: Keep soil slightly moist; water when the top 1–2 inches feel dry, avoiding soggy conditions.

Soil: Use a well-draining, fertile mix amended with organic matter for consistent moisture without waterlogging.

Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.

Hardiness: Best in USDA Zones 9–11; treat as a warm-season annual or container plant in cooler zones.

Light: Place near an east- or north-facing window for bright, indirect light; avoid direct midday sun.

Watering: Check weekly and water with warm water when the top 1–2 inches are dry; never let soil fully dry.

Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity; group plants or use a pebble tray to boost ambient moisture.

Temperature: Keep above 60°F; shield from AC vents, heaters, and cold drafts.

Repotting: Refresh potting mix each spring and step up pot size when roots fill the container.

Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to promote continuous flowering and a tidy look.

Pruning: Lightly pinch or trim leggy stems to encourage bushier growth.

Pests: Check leaves for spider mites or whitefly; treat early with insecticidal soap if needed.

Winter Routine: Reduce watering, maintain bright light, and keep warm to prevent leaf drop.

Refresh Feed: Resume regular fertilizing in spring as new growth accelerates.

Expert Grower’s Tips

Advice from our growing experts

Warm-Water Watering

Warm-Water Watering

Use lukewarm water to avoid root shock, especially indoors. Crossandra dislikes cold water on roots. Consistency keeps buds forming and flowers fresh.

Filter the Sunshine

Filter the Sunshine

Outdoors, give morning sun with afternoon shade in hot regions. Indoors, bright filtered light near sheer-curtained windows prevents bloom scorch. This balance supports continuous color.

Bloom-Boosting Grooming

Bloom-Boosting Grooming

Deadhead weekly and pinch lanky tips to trigger more branching and buds. Light, regular feeding during warm months supports non-stop flowering. Avoid heavy salts that can burn roots.

These tips are based on 30+ years of professional growing experience at our Florida nursery.

Crossandra Orange Marmalade FAQ

Provide bright, indirect light and keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Use well-draining mix, warm water, and light monthly feeding during the growing season. Protect from harsh afternoon sun and temperatures below 60°F.

Crossandra is perennial in USDA Zones 9–11 where winters are mild. In cooler zones, grow it as a warm-season annual or overwinter indoors in bright light. With warmth and steady moisture, it will bloom across multiple seasons.

Crossandra is generally considered deer-resistant and is rarely a first choice for browsing. While no plant is fully deer-proof, its foliage is typically unappealing. Combine with other deer-resistant selections for best results.

Crossandra Orange Marmalade typically reaches 1–3 feet tall in containers or garden beds. Height varies with light, warmth, and fertilization. Regular pinching helps maintain a compact, floriferous habit.

Yes, Crossandra makes an excellent indoor plant in bright, indirect light. Keep humidity moderate and water with warm water when the top inch dries. Avoid cold drafts and rotate the pot for even growth.

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry, aiming for consistently moist—not wet—conditions. Outdoors in heat, you may water more frequently; indoors, weekly is often enough. Reduce slightly in winter while keeping the root zone warm.

This shop has the most fantastic, healthy, gorgeous plants. I am a repeat customer and have never been disappointed. In fact the plants have always exceeded my expectation and plants are often much larger than expected. Packaging is some of the most professional I've seen, with not one leaf damaged. I'll be back for more.
