Yellow Bells (Thong Urai) in Thailand: Sunshine in Your Garden
The Yellow Trumpetbush, or Thong Urai (ทองอุไร) in Thai, is a popular sight in Thailand with its bright yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers. Though not native, it thrives in the warm climate. Here’s how to grow and maintain this sunshine bloomer:
- Planting: Choose a well-drained location with plenty of sunlight. Plant seeds or cuttings during the warm season (March-May).
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during the first year, but avoid overwatering.
- Maintenance: Prune lightly after flowering to encourage bushier growth. Fertilize occasionally for vibrant blooms.
Tip: Thong Urai can be somewhat invasive. Consider planting it in containers or monitor its spread in your garden.
