Houseplant of the week: dwarf kowhai
Briefly

The dwarf kowhai, native to New Zealand, is beloved for its whimsical appearance with zigzagging branches and bright yellow flowers that bloom in spring.
This shrub thrives in bright, indirect light, tolerates lower light, and should be watered when the top inch of soil dries out to ensure optimal health.
Culturally significant, the kowhai symbolizes strength and resilience in Maori culture, adding to its attractiveness as both a decorative and meaningful plant.
To maintain its shape, light pruning in late winter is recommended, especially to prevent leggy growth, ensuring the dwarf kowhai remains lush.
