Arbutillion or Japanese Lantern Plant

[orchid lady]

I got this plant from a Tropical Plant vendor at my local OS orchid show today out of curiousity. The lady wrote the name for me. I googled the name but I did not get any result. Anybody familiar with this plant?
Thanks for looking

Yes is Abutilon! And I have one! Is easy to grow this palnt if you respect this: Plant growth is not very slow and is able to bloom at any time of year if you have light and heat. Require more water during the spring-summer. Earth remains permanently wet. In winter moisten a little, so as not to leave the land to dry completely.
Summer is fertilize 2-3 times per month with solutions of mineral fertilizers for plants with flowers.
Protect the plant from wind and rain:to break branches and flowers are very delicate. When moisture can rust appear.
There are another color :yelow,red ,orange and one is multicolor. I never see but he is here (because I read this)

Got it, I didn't bother to look at Abutilon when google suggested it.

Not sure if they're going to open more but they look so cute just hanging like a lantern and that's probably when they are called Japanese lantern.

Thanks so much for the info Ruxandra. I actually bought two, this one and the reddish one but this one has more blooms so I decided to use it as the model. Your english is perfectly fine

Marissa certainly you love this plant! I want little pictures of the red flower when is blomming!
I forgot to tell you : Abutilonul needs a lot of light but not direct sun rays.
Multiplication: spring by seeds or seedlings. Spring you cut from the "mother plant", several shoot around 12-16 cm which you planted in sandy soil and having to care located in a light, warm and well ventilated.
I tell you in my country is few .It is extended to all the women not only to mother.
My dear women friends on this forum ! It is our day !Be Happy !
