Calluna vulgaris, commonly known as heather, is a low-growing perennial shrub native to Europe and Asia Minor. It thrives in temperate climates and is often found in heathlands, moorlands, and bogs. Heather is known for its small, scale-like leaves and clusters of tiny, bell-shaped flowers that bloom in late summer to early autumn. The plant undergoes a dormancy period during the winter months.

Instrucciones de cuidado
Heather requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth and prefers moderate temperatures. It thrives in environments with moderate humidity. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out almost completely between waterings. Heather is relatively easy to care for but does require some attention to its specific needs.Suelo
Heather prefers acidic, well-draining soil with a high organic matter content. Peat-based soil mixes are ideal. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental to the plant's health.Fertilizante
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 4-6-4. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically in spring and early summer, to support healthy growth and flowering.Trasplante
Heather can be repotted every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Repot in early spring before the growing season begins. Use a peat-based soil mix and ensure the new pot has good drainage.Propagación
Heather can be propagated through semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer. Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and plant them in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the cuttings in a humid environment until they establish roots.Poda
Prune heather after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches and trim back the plant to promote bushier growth. Pruning also helps to prevent the plant from becoming leggy.Toxicidad
Heather is not toxic to pets or humans. It is generally considered safe to have around the home and garden.Adicional
Heather is a hardy plant that can tolerate poor soil conditions and is often used in landscaping for ground cover and erosion control. It attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it a beneficial addition to any garden.REVOLUCIONE EL CUIDADO DE SUS PLANTAS
