Here's how to care for your Clerodendrum wallichii:

1. **Light Requirements** 🌞:
   - Prefers bright, indirect light to encourage healthy growth and flowering.
   - Can tolerate some direct morning sunlight, but avoid harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf burn.

2. **Watering** 💧:
   - Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season (spring and summer).
   - Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot.

3. **Humidity** 🌿:
   - Thrives in high humidity environments.
   - Increase humidity by misting regularly, using a humidifier, or placing the plant on a tray with water and pebbles.

4. **Temperature** 🌡️:
   - Enjoys warm temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C).
   - Protect from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C) to ensure healthy growth.

5. **Soil** 🌱:
   - Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter.
   - A mix of peat, perlite, and standard potting soil provides the necessary moisture and aeration.

6. **Fertilizing** 🌼:
   - Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
   - Reduce feeding during the fall and winter months when growth naturally slows.

7. **Pruning and Maintenance** ✂️:
   - Prune regularly to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.
   - Remove any spent flowers and yellowing or damaged leaves to promote healthy growth.

8. **Repotting** 🪴:
   - Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound.
   - Choose a pot that is slightly larger with good drainage to accommodate growth.

9. **Pests and Problems** 🐛:
   - Monitor for pests such as spider mites, aphids, and whiteflies.
   - Treat any infestations promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap to keep your plant healthy.

With the proper care, your Clerodendrum wallichii will reward you with its stunning, cascading blooms, adding a touch of elegance and charm to your indoor or outdoor garden.
