40% - 60%. Tecoma benefits from humid air, but leaves should still dry between wet periods to reduce fungal pressure.

🌧️ Good news for Malaysia: Your home's natural humidity is already helping. Focus on airflow instead to prevent fungal issues.

Well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter; slightly acidic to neutral pH is preferred.
