Plant in a Box Callistemon citrinus 'Splendens' - Lamp cleaner

Callistemon laevis is an evergreen Mediterranean plant with strong, compact leaves that are bronze-red when they first emerge and then turn gray-green. In summer, it delights you with an overwhelming number of fiery red "bottlebrush" flowers. These not only provide a colorful sight but also attract bees and butterflies. Thanks to its beautiful blooms, the Callistemon is a true ornament for the garden. It is ideally suited for cultivation in a large pot and can be used as a houseplant or conservatory plant during the cooler months before being placed on the terrace in summer.

Care
The Callistemon prefers a sunny location and tolerates wind well. It cannot withstand severe frost and can stay outside down to -4ºC. It is best to keep the tree indoors during winter. Therefore, it is advisable to keep the Callistemon as a potted plant to ensure it can winter without frost. Regarding plant care, it is recommended to prune it immediately after flowering. This encourages branch growth, and the plant will bloom again the following year.
