Instrucciones de cuidado
Ornithogalum dubium requires bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. It thrives in environments with moderate humidity. Water the plant when the soil partially dries out, but avoid waterlogging. During its dormancy period, reduce watering significantly.Suelo
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. A mix that includes sand and organic matter is ideal. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent bulb rot.Fertilizante
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season every 4-6 weeks. Avoid fertilizing during the dormancy period.Trasplante
Repot Ornithogalum dubium every 2-3 years or when the bulb outgrows its container. Repot during the dormant period. Use fresh, well-draining soil and a slightly larger pot.Propagación
Propagate by separating offsets from the main bulb during the dormant period. Plant the offsets in well-draining soil and water sparingly until new growth appears.Poda
Pruning is not typically required for Ornithogalum dubium. Remove spent flowers and dead foliage to maintain the plant's appearance.Toxicidad
Ornithogalum dubium is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The bulbs and leaves contain toxic compounds that can cause gastrointestinal distress. Handle with care and keep out of reach of children and pets.Adicional
Ensure the plant has a period of dormancy by reducing watering and keeping it in a cooler location. This rest period is crucial for the bulb to rejuvenate and produce flowers in the next growing season.REVOLUCIONE EL CUIDADO DE SUS PLANTAS
