Instrucciones de cuidado
Acalypha hispida thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It requires high humidity and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely. The plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided it is protected from direct, harsh sunlight.Suelo
The Chenille plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of peat, perlite, and garden soil works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.Fertilizante
Feed Acalypha hispida with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (10-10-10) every two weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.Trasplante
Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has 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.Propagación
Propagate Acalypha hispida through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant it in a moist, well-draining soil mix. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.Poda
Prune the plant regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged leaves and trim back leggy stems. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season.Toxicidad
Acalypha hispida is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The sap can cause skin irritation, so handle the plant with care and keep it out of reach of children and pets.REVOLUCIONE EL CUIDADO DE SUS PLANTAS
