DETALLES
Instrucciones de cuidado
Trailing lantana prefers bright, direct sunlight and should be placed in a location where it can receive at least six hours of light daily. It thrives in moderate temperatures and can tolerate some drought once established. Regular watering is necessary during the growing season, but the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings. Moderate humidity levels are ideal.Suelo
Lantana montevidensis prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that is not too rich in nutrients. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot, so a soil mix that includes sand or perlite can be beneficial.Fertilizante
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied during the growing season to support healthy growth. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks, but avoid over-fertilizing as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.Trasplante
Repot trailing lantana every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagación
Lantana montevidensis can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, remove the lower leaves, and place the cuttings in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist and provide bright, indirect light until roots develop.Poda
Pruning is necessary to maintain the shape and encourage bushier growth. Prune trailing lantana in the spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged branches and trim back leggy stems to promote a more compact form.Toxicidad
Lantana montevidensis is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. All parts of the plant contain toxins that can cause gastrointestinal distress, vomiting, and diarrhea. It is important to keep this plant out of reach of children and pets.Adicional
Trailing lantana is a hardy plant that can tolerate some neglect, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor growth. It is also known for attracting butterflies and other pollinators, adding to its appeal in gardens and landscapes.REVOLUCIONE EL CUIDADO DE SUS PLANTAS
