Pflegehinweise
Pineapple Sage requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant when the soil partially dries out, and ensure it is kept in a well-ventilated area. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.Boden
Salvia elegans prefers well-draining loamy soil. A mix that retains some moisture but does not become waterlogged is ideal. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot.Dünger
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support its growth and flowering.Umtopfen
Repot Pineapple Sage every 1-2 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
Propagate Salvia elegans through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant it in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist and place the cutting in a bright, indirect light until roots develop.Beschneidung
Prune Pineapple Sage regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems and trim back leggy growth. Pruning is best done in the spring or after the flowering period.Toxizität
Salvia elegans is not toxic to pets or humans. It is safe to grow in households with animals and children.Zusätzlich
Pineapple Sage is not only ornamental but also edible. The leaves can be used in teas, salads, and as a garnish. The bright red flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies, making it a great addition to a wildlife-friendly garden.REVOLUTIONIEREN SIE IHRE PFLANZENPFLEGE
