Here are some tips for caring for a pink Lagerstroemia plant:

1. Plant your Lagerstroemia in well-draining soil in a location that receives full sun.

2. Water your Lagerstroemia regularly, providing enough moisture to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, as this can stress the plant.

3. Fertilize your Lagerstroemia regularly with a balanced fertilizer, following the instructions on the label.

4. Prune your Lagerstroemia in the late winter or early spring, removing any dead or damaged branches.

5. Monitor your Lagerstroemia for signs of pests or diseases, and take appropriate action if necessary.

6. Protect your Lagerstroemia from extreme cold, as it is not frost-tolerant. In areas with freezing temperatures, it is best to plant Lagerstroemia in a container that can be brought indoors during the winter
