🌿 Care Guide for Pink Butterfly Pea Vine (Single Petal Pink Clitoria ternatea)

Give your Pink Aparajita proper care, and it will bless you with soft pink flowers and healthy green leaves all year. Here's how to help your Clitoria ternatea grow well in Indian weather:

☀️ Sunlight

This flowering vine loves the sun. Provide at least 5–6 hours of direct sunlight daily for healthy growth and continuous flowering.

While it can tolerate partial shade, full sun ensures vibrant blooms and bushier foliage.

In very hot areas, consider using a shade net to protect the leaves from scorching.

🌡️ Temperature

The Pink Butterfly Pea plant thrives in warm tropical and subtropical climates with temperatures between 15°C and 35°C.

Ideal for most Indian states with warm, humid weather.

🪴 Soil

Grows well in light, loamy, or clay soils but good drainage is essential.

Prefers slightly sandy, fertile soil enriched with organic matter.

Ideal pH range is between 6.5 to 8.0.

You can also grow it in grow bags or pots using our ready-to-use potting soil.

💧 Watering

Water deeply and regularly during hot months and the active growing season.

Allow the top inch of soil to dry between watering to avoid root rot.

Reduce watering in winter and rainy seasons, but don’t allow the soil go completely dry.

Avoid misting the leaves, as excess moisture can cause fungal issues.

🌱 Fertilising

Encourage healthy growth and vibrant flowering by feeding the plant once a month with organic fertilisers such as vermicompost, cow dung manure, goat dung manure, fish amino acid, and bone meal.

Avoid chemical fertilisers, as organic inputs also improve soil health and microbial activity.

🪴 Pot vs Ground Planting

In pots:

Use a 12-inch pot or grow bag for young plants, and upgrade to 18 inches as the plant matures.

Ensure pots have good drainage holes and a sturdy support system.

In ground:

The vine can grow up to 15 feet or more with proper support.

🧵 Support and Training

The Pink Butterfly Pea plant is a natural climber and grows best with proper vertical support. Use trellises, creeper nets, balcony grills, fences, or pergolas to help it grow upward and spread beautifully.

Gently train the vines during the early stages by tying or guiding them toward the support. This not only enhances the plant’s shape but also encourages more blooms and better air circulation.

🐛 Pests & Diseases

The Pink Butterfly Pea Vine is generally pest-resistant, but may occasionally be affected by aphids, mealybugs, or spider mites.

Treat infestations promptly using neem oil spray or organic insecticides such as Metarhizium anisopliae.

To prevent fungal issues like mildew or root rot, ensure good air circulation around the plant and well-draining soil.
