Instrucciones de cuidado
Escallonia rubra thrives in bright, direct sunlight and requires moderate temperatures. It prefers soil that dries out partially between waterings and benefits from regular watering during dry periods. The plant enjoys moderate humidity and should be protected from extreme cold. Pruning is necessary to maintain its shape and encourage new growth.Suelo
Escallonia rubra prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in fertile, well-drained soil. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.Fertilizante
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize in the spring and summer to support growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.Trasplante
Repot young plants every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repot in the spring before the growing season begins.Propagación
Escallonia rubra 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 moist and in a bright, indirect light until roots develop.Poda
Prune Escallonia rubra in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged branches and shape the plant to maintain its desired form. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and more abundant flowering.Toxicidad
Escallonia rubra is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always advisable to prevent pets and children from ingesting any plant material.Adicional
Escallonia rubra is relatively low-maintenance once established and can tolerate coastal conditions, making it a good choice for seaside gardens. It is also resistant to many common pests and diseases, though it may occasionally suffer from aphids or scale insects.REVOLUCIONE EL CUIDADO DE SUS PLANTAS
