🌿 Syzygium campanulatum – Care Tips

Also known as “Kelat Paya” or “Bush Cherry”, Syzygium campanulatum is a tropical, fast-growing shrub or small tree prized for its reddish-orange new leaves, lush green mature foliage, and pink bell-shaped flowers, which attract butterflies and birds.

☀️ Light

• Prefers full sun to partial shade

• For the most vibrant leaf color, grow in direct sun (6+ hours daily)

💧 Watering

• Keep soil consistently moist, especially when newly planted

• Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry

• Drought-tolerant once established, but thrives with regular watering

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Thrives in warm, humid climates (20–32°C / 68–90°F)

• Not frost-tolerant – protect or cover in cooler climates

• Loves tropical conditions, but tolerates light winds

🌱 Soil & Fertilizer

• Grows best in well-drained, loamy or sandy soil

• Feed with a balanced or nitrogen-rich fertilizer every 6–8 weeks during active growth

• Mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune regularly to shape or maintain as a hedge or topiary

• Responds very well to trimming – ideal for structured designs

• Remove dead or leggy stems to encourage fuller growth

🌺 Bonus

• Produces pink bell-shaped flowers, followed by small edible berries (non-toxic)

• Can be grown as a bush, hedge, or small ornamental tree

🐾 Pet Safety
