Care Instructions
Cleyera is a shrub that requires well-draining soil and regular watering to thrive. It loves bright, indirect light and should be fertilized during the growing season. It is naturally resistant to pests and diseases, but occasional pruning is necessary to maintain its shape. Cleyera prefers temperatures between 60-70°F, making it an ideal indoor plant in colder climates. Regular misting will keep its leaves moist and prevent leaf drop. With proper care, cleyera can provide year-round beauty in any garden or home.
