Religious Significance of Krishna Kamal Flower:

Krishna Kamal holds significant importance in both Christianity and Hinduism. In Christianity, the passionflower symbolizes the suffering of Christ when he was crucified, as the corona of the flower looks similar to the crown of thorn worn by Christ. While in Hinduism, every part of the flower symbolizes something. The blue filaments represent a hundred sons of Dhritrashtra (Kauravas); five yellow petals depict the Pandavas. While three threads at the center represent the holy trinity of Brahma-Vishnu-Mahesh. The yellow stamens of the center portray Sudarshan chakra that belongs to Krishna in reference to the epic Mahabharata.

Krishna Kamal Plant’s Care Instructions:

Sunlight: The plants love the sun and need at least 4-5 hours of daylight every day. Keep them in the shade when summers get too hot, as they can not do well in high temperatures. So, it is better to keep the plant in a spot where it gets sunlight only in the first half of the day. If you’re growing them in a pot, it is going to be very easy for you to locate according to the light.

Temperature: The flowers are native to the subtropical climate. They widely grow in India and require temperature ranging between 15-25°C to prosper well.

Soil: Well-draining, sandy soil is ideal for growing these plants. Mulching them with a dense layer of organic compost can do wonders for their growth!

Water: When watering the plants, make sure to water them thoroughly. When growing in pots, pour until it starts to run out of the base of your container. Do remember that the plants don’t handle drought well, so water them twice a week.

Fertilizer: Using a balanced, general-purpose fertilizer, once in 6-7 weeks, is best for Krishna Kamal plant.  Alternatively, you can also use cow dung manure (Gobar ki Khaad).
