Ornithogalum dubium, commonly known as the Sun Star or Star of Bethlehem, is a bulbous geophyte native to South Africa. It belongs to the family Asparagaceae and the genus Ornithogalum. This plant is known for its bright orange or yellow star-shaped flowers and is often grown as an ornamental plant. It prefers subtropical climates and has a dormancy period during which the bulb rests.
Ornithogalum dubium requires bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. It thrives in environments with moderate humidity. Water the plant when the soil partially dries out, but avoid waterlogging. During its dormancy period, reduce watering significantly.
تربة
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. A mix that includes sand and organic matter is ideal. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent bulb rot.
سماد
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season every 4-6 weeks. Avoid fertilizing during the dormancy period.
إعادة السمعة
Repot Ornithogalum dubium every 2-3 years or when the bulb outgrows its container. Repot during the dormant period. Use fresh, well-draining soil and a slightly larger pot.
الانتشار
Propagate by separating offsets from the main bulb during the dormant period. Plant the offsets in well-draining soil and water sparingly until new growth appears.
تشذيب
Pruning is not typically required for Ornithogalum dubium. Remove spent flowers and dead foliage to maintain the plant's appearance.
تسمم
Ornithogalum dubium is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The bulbs and leaves contain toxic compounds that can cause gastrointestinal distress. Handle with care and keep out of reach of children and pets.
إضافي
Ensure the plant has a period of dormancy by reducing watering and keeping it in a cooler location. This rest period is crucial for the bulb to rejuvenate and produce flowers in the next growing season.
