💡 Care Tip: After arrival, keep your young Christmas Senna in its container or transplant it into a small pot rather than immediately planting it directly into the ground. Place it in bright, protected light and gradually introduce stronger sunlight over several weeks. Regular pruning as the plant matures can encourage branching and help create a fuller, sturdier shrub. Protect young plants from extreme heat and freezing temperatures while they establish.
