DETALLES
Instrucciones de cuidado
Catnip thrives in temperate climates and prefers full sun to partial shade. It should be watered moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. The plant grows best in moderate temperatures and average humidity levels. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.Suelo
Catnip prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. It can tolerate poorer soils but will thrive in moderately fertile conditions. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot.Fertilizante
Catnip benefits from a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-5. Fertilize the plant once in the spring and again in mid-summer to support healthy growth.Trasplante
Repot catnip every 2-3 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
Catnip can be propagated through seeds, cuttings, or division. Seeds can be sown in the spring, while cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer. Division is best done in the spring or fall by separating the root clumps and replanting them.Poda
Prune catnip regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Cut back the stems after flowering to prevent the plant from becoming leggy. Remove any dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy.Toxicidad
Catnip is not toxic to pets or humans. However, it can cause temporary euphoria and hyperactivity in cats. The plant is safe for cats to ingest, but excessive consumption may lead to mild gastrointestinal upset.Adicional
Catnip can be used in herbal teas and has been traditionally used for its calming effects on humans. It can also be a natural insect repellent, particularly against mosquitoes and flies.REVOLUCIONE EL CUIDADO DE SUS PLANTAS
