Pflegehinweise
Cape fuchsia thrives in bright, direct sunlight and requires moderate temperatures. It prefers a humid environment but can tolerate average household humidity levels. Water the plant when the top layer of soil feels dry, ensuring the soil remains partially moist. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.Boden

Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to promote healthy growth and flowering.Umtopfen
Repot Cape fuchsia every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Vermehrung
Phygelius capensis can be propagated through stem cuttings or division. Take stem cuttings in spring or early summer, dip them in rooting hormone, and plant them in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in a bright, indirect light until they root.Beschneidung
