A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied in the spring to support growth. Fertilize sparingly, as too much can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of flowers.Umtopfen
Repotting is generally not necessary for outdoor plants, but if grown in a container, repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Choose a slightly larger pot and ensure good drainage.Vermehrung
Vitex agnus-castus can be propagated by seeds or cuttings. Softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer root well. Seeds can be sown in the spring after the last frost.Beschneidung
