تربة
This plant prefers loamy soil that is well-draining yet retains some moisture. A soil mix that includes organic matter will help maintain the necessary nutrient levels. Ensure the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral for optimal growth.
سماد
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically in spring and summer, to support its growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilizing as it can lead to nutrient burn.
إعادة السمعة
Repot Omphalodes verna every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.
