Description
Day King is an evergreen flowering shrub grown for the clusters of small cream flowers it opens through daylight hours rather than after dark.
It is supplied at 80cm in either a nursery pot or a ceramic pot, with prices running from AED 45 to AED 85 depending on the pot selected.
In Dubai gardens it keeps flowering through the hot months provided the root zone never dries out completely. Sandy beds drain faster than it likes, so soil worked with compost holds moisture between irrigation cycles. Flowering slows sharply once the bed has gone bone dry twice in a week.
How to care for Day King in the UAE
Give it full sun or light afternoon shade, and water deeply three times weekly in summer, tapering off in winter. The usual failure is shallow daily sprinkling, which wets only the top few centimetres, leaves deeper roots dry and yellows the lower leaves.
Where Day King works best
It suits a boundary wall, the edge of a seating area or an informal clipped hedge where the scent carries in the evening cool. Browse the outdoor plant collection when choosing companion shrubs.
FAQ
Does Day King flower all year round?
It flowers in flushes across the warmer months and slows in midwinter. A light trim after each flush brings the next one on faster.
Is Day King safe around dogs?
Cestrum foliage and berries are toxic if chewed, so keep it away from dogs that graze on garden planting.
Plants Care
Watering:
Water your plant once a week or when the soil starts to feel slightly dry on the surface. Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater, as this can cause brown spots and leaf drop. If the leaves become curly or dry, it's a sign that the plant needs water. It's best to water your plant in the early morning or late evening when the temperatures are cooler. Always check the soil before watering.
Light:
Provide bright indoor light or indirect sunlight for about 6 to 8 hours a day.
Temperature:
Maintain temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid exposing the plant to drafts, as these can cause undesirable temperature fluctuations. Mist the plant occasionally, about twice a week, to help maintain optimal humidity levels.
Fertilizer:
Apply liquid fertiliser every 15 days when the plant is actively growing. For best results, use Folikraft ready-to-use Indoor Plant Food.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! We ensure that every plant we send out meets two key criteria:
- We carefully inspect each plant for signs of root rot, pests, disease, and unhealthy foliage or stems. If we find any issues, we don’t ship the plant. This meticulous care ensures that every plant is healthy and ready to thrive in its new home.
- We ask ourselves if we’d proudly display the plant in our own homes and if it matches the online photos. If both answers are yes, we ship it. However, if you're not happy with your plant, we offer a hassle-free replacement within 14 days of delivery.
Yes, we strive to match the appearance of the plants shown online. While natural variations in color, shape, and size are to be expected, we do our best to ensure your plant closely resembles its online image.
Your plant will arrive in its nursery pot to ensure safe transportation. We recommend leaving it in this pot for at least 6 to 12 months to acclimate to your home’s environment. For succulents, which acclimate faster, we may replant them before shipping.
Consider the following:
- Light: A bright, indirect light spot offers more plant options than a shady area.
- Time: Some plants need minimal care, while others require more attention.
- Style: Choose plants that match your aesthetic, whether tree-like with large leaves or vining varieties.
