🌿 Growth & Appearance

• Height: 2–3m (ideal for balconies or villa borders).
• Flowers: Star-shaped, snow-white clusters with a sweet scent.
• Leaves: Glossy, dark green – stays evergreen in warm climates.

🏆 Survival Superpowers

• Heat champion: Loves Dubai’s sun (but appreciates afternoon shade).
• Drought-tolerant: Needs less water than hibiscus or roses.
• Pest-resistant: Rarely bothered by insects.

Light & Location

• Best: Full sun to light shade (east/west-facing balconies).
• Avoid: Dark corners – needs 4+ hours of sunlight to bloom.

💦 Watering

• Summer: 2–3 times weekly (let topsoil dry between waterings).
• Winter: Once weekly.
• Pro Tip: Overwatering causes root rot – Wrightia hates "wet feet!"

🌡️ Climate Tips

• Ideal temp: 20°C–40°C (perfect for UAE outdoors).
• AC rooms? Not ideal – this plant thrives outside!

✂️ Maintenance

• Prune after flowering to encourage bushiness.
• Remove yellow leaves to keep it tidy.
