Soil: Orange Tecoma will grow well in most soils, including clay, sand, and rocky ground. It can also grow in loamy soil. 

Water: Mature plants can tolerate dry areas, but they will also grow in moist conditions. Even though they are able to survive periods without rain, they do appreciate occasional watering during a particularly dry spell.

Fertilizer:  Additional fertilization may be helpful but is not necessary in most cases since the Orange Tecoma plant is naturally hardy. If you do choose to fertilize your plants periodically, make sure to provide water with each application. The fertilizer does not work if applied to dry ground.
