Growing conditions

☀️ Lighting

Full sun - 6-8 hours a day. Sun = more flowers! In Israel in the summer, afternoon shade is a good idea to protect from the extreme heat. Morning sun + afternoon shade = perfect combination.

💧 Irrigation

Keep soil moist but not wet. Water when the top layer dries out. Do not overwater! Stem rot is the main danger. Excellent drainage is essential.

🪴 Land

Fertile, well-drained soil. Add compost to existing soil. In pots - a quality soil mix with perlite. Soil rich in organic matter = richer blooms.

🌡️ Temperature

Loves coolness! 15-21°C is ideal. Hardens in heat above 27°C. In Israel, blooms best in spring and fall. Sensitive to frost - not below 4°C.

Common problems and solutions

💛 Yellow/brown leaves

A sign of heatstroke! Nemesia struggles in high temperatures. Move to partial shade in the afternoon, water more, and wait for it to cool down.

🌸 Stopped blooming

Prune a third of the plant! Pruning encourages a new wave of flowering. Extreme heat also stops flowering - wait for it to cool down or protect from the sun.

🍂 Stem rot

Overwatering! Reduce watering and ensure excellent drainage. Do not water on the leaves. Move pots away from the floor for better drainage.

🍄 Gray mold

Too high humidity and poor ventilation. Keep plants away from each other, do not water on the leaves, improve air circulation.

Plant information

Nemesia is a lovely flowering plant from the family Nemesiaceae. It is native to South Africa (the Cape region) and is also called "Cape Snapdragon" or "Cape Jewels".

Special flowers: Small trumpet-shaped flowers with lips - reminiscent of tiny orchids! They come in almost every color: white, pink, red, orange, yellow, blue, purple - and even bicolors. The blooms are so abundant that you can barely see the leaves!

Smell: A sweet and delicate scent like honey or vanilla, intensifies in the evening and attracts pollinators!

Size: 15-50 cm tall, depending on the variety. There are upright varieties for the garden and pots and sprawling varieties perfect for hanging baskets and window boxes.

💡 Professional tips

Density: Pinch the ends of the shoots when they are 5 cm high - they will grow bushier and denser! Prolong flowering: Pick wilted flowers regularly. Perfect season: In Israel - spring and autumn. Combinations: Looks amazing with petunia, lobelia, snapdragon and timothy and tamarind. 🌸
