Shrub Wrightia Religiosa Type C, 10LP, 0.8-1.0M

Wrightia religiosa, commonly known as the Sacred Fig or Milky Way, is a small to medium-sized flowering tree or shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions of Asia. It is admired for its fragrant, white flowers and attractive foliage, making it a popular choice for ornamental planting in gardens and landscapes.

Key Features:
Growth Habit: Wrightia religiosa typically grows as a small tree or shrub, reaching heights of 3 to 10 meters (10 to 33 feet). It has a bushy, rounded crown and can be pruned to maintain a desired shape or size.
Leaves: The leaves are simple, opposite, and elliptic, with a glossy dark green color. They are typically 5-12 cm (2-5 inches) long and have a smooth texture.
Flowers: The tree produces small, fragrant, star-shaped white flowers that grow in clusters. Each flower has five petals and typically blooms during the warmer months, attracting bees and butterflies.
Fruit: The fruit is a small, elongated capsule that contains several seeds. Once mature, it can split open to release the seeds.
Growing Conditions:
Light: Wrightia religiosa prefers full sun to partial shade. It thrives best in bright, indirect light but can tolerate some shade, especially in hotter climates.
Soil: The plant prefers well-draining, fertile soil. It can adapt to various soil types, including sandy or loamy soils, but it performs best in rich, organic matter.
Watering: Regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods. The soil should be kept moderately moist, but the plant is somewhat drought-tolerant once established. Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
Temperature: Wrightia religiosa thrives in warm temperatures, ideally between 20-35°C (68-95°F). It can tolerate some heat but may be sensitive to frost, so protection is necessary in cooler climates.
Care and Maintenance:
Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the shape and size of the tree. It can be pruned after flowering to encourage bushier growth and remove any dead or damaged branches.
Fertilizing: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote healthy growth and flowering. Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows.
Repotting: If grown in a pot, repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that allows for good drainage.
Common Problems:
Pests: Wrightia religiosa can be affected by pests like aphids, scale, and whiteflies. Regularly inspect the plant for signs of infestation and treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.
Diseases: Overwatering or poor air circulation can lead to fungal diseases like root rot. Ensure proper drainage and avoid waterlogged conditions.
Benefits and Uses:
Ornamental: The attractive flowers and glossy foliage make Wrightia religiosa a popular choice for landscaping and garden design. It can be used as a specimen tree, in hedges, or as part of mixed plantings.
Fragrance: The sweet fragrance of the flowers adds an aromatic element to gardens, especially in the evening when the flowers are most fragrant.
Cultural Significance: In some cultures, the plant is considered sacred and is used in religious or ceremonial practices. Its flowers are sometimes offered in worship or used in traditional medicine.
Toxicity:
Toxicity: Wrightia religiosa is generally considered non-toxic to humans and pets. However, as with any plant, it is advisable to avoid ingestion of large quantities.
