🌿 Ervatamia Green – Plant & Care Guide

“Ervatamia Green” typically refers to a foliage-focused variant or simply a non-blooming young stage of Ervatamia divaricata (syn. Tabernaemontana divaricata), also known as Crape Jasmine or Pinwheel Flower. While mature Ervatamia plants are known for their white flowers, the “Green” variety may emphasize lush, ornamental green leaves, making it popular for green hedges or filler greenery in landscaping.

• For greener foliage, use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer in early growth stages

• Optional: Apply seaweed or compost tea for extra vigor
