This abutilon is also known as ‘Chinese Bellflower’ because of it’s bell shaped blooms. It will do well in a conservatory or outside on summer patio in a sheltered spot. In the right spot these plants will produce colourful blooms all summer long.
Good light is important for abutilon, however if your plant is in front of a window sill keep a little way back from the glass, where it may get scorched or chilled. Cold draughts or strong winds are best avoided, and, in the winter, they will need a spot indoors as they will start to suffer in temperatures below 6°C.
To encourage more buds, cut off dead flowers and pinch out the leading shoots. As the plant grows it can be repotted next spring into a larger pot with rich potting compost.
Abutilon aren’t particularly prone to pests but if you spot any aphids or stickiness on the leaves, give them a good wipe down and / or a spray with soapy water.
