DETALLES
Instrucciones de cuidado
Pennyroyal requires bright, direct light for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers a humid environment. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.Suelo
Pennyroyal prefers well-draining loamy soil with moderate nutrient concentration. The soil should be kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. Adding organic matter can improve soil structure and fertility.Fertilizante
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-5. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth.Trasplante
Repot pennyroyal every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its current pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagación
Pennyroyal can be propagated through stem cuttings or division. Take stem cuttings in spring or early summer and root them in moist soil. Alternatively, divide the plant during the dormant period and replant the divisions in separate pots or garden beds.Poda
Prune pennyroyal regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems and trim back leggy growth. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season.Toxicidad
Pennyroyal is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The essential oils, particularly pulegone, can cause severe liver and kidney damage. All parts of the plant are toxic, and it should be kept out of reach of children and pets.Adicional
Pennyroyal has been used historically as a natural insect repellent. However, due to its toxicity, it should be used with caution. Always handle the plant with care and wash hands thoroughly after touching it.REVOLUCIONE EL CUIDADO DE SUS PLANTAS
