How to Care for Pink Vinca

Before you buy a Pink Vinca plant, be sure to read about the recommended care instructions to keep this plant healthy and thriving!

How Do I Plant Pink Vinca?

How Do I Plant Pink Vinca?

It is crucial not to rush to plant your Vinca annuals. If you plant them too early in the spring, it will be too cold, and the soil will still be wet. The wet conditions of the soil could cause your plant to become sick. These are hot weather annual plants, meaning they do not thrive in cool and wet climates. We recommend planting your Pink Vinca plants around the same time as you begin to plant your vegetable garden. Full sun is best for your plant to bloom beautiful and luscious flowers. However, if you live in an extremely hot climate, some afternoon shade wouldn't harm your plant one bit.

How Often Should I Fertilize My Pink Vinca Plant?

How Often Should I Fertilize My Pink Vinca Plant?

If your Pink Vinca is grown in containers, we recommend feeding it more frequently with a general, all-purpose fertilizer. Doing so will help replenish any nutrients that are lost during watering. If your Vinca plant is in the ground, we recommend that you fertilize with a slow-release fertilizer at the time of planting. You can also apply compost to the plant bed and will help add the nutrients that fertilizer adds.

What Type of Light is Best for Pink Vinca Annuals?

What Type of Light is Best for Pink Vinca Annuals?

Your annual Vinca loves to be in full sunlight. We recommend planting your Pink Vinca in a spot that receives at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight a day, preferably more. Your plant will do fine in partially shaded areas. However, it most likely will become leggy and not produce as many flowers if it receives too much shade. If your plant is in a container, you can move it around parts of your garden to ensure it receives enough sunlight each day. The more sun your plant receives, the more luscious and full its flowers will be.

When Should I Water Pink Vinca Plant?

When Should I Water Pink Vinca Plant?

A common mistake when caring for a Vinca plant is overwatering it. We recommend that you water your plant once the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. This usually means you can water your plant once a week. However, if you live in an area that receives lots of rainfall or you're having a year of more rainfall than usual, cut back on watering because the rain is already providing what your plant needs to thrive. This plant thrives in dry soil conditions. It is better to wait to water your plant than to water too soon. You could risk the chance of root rot disease, and that could cause permeant damage to your plant.
