Instructions d'entretien

Ageratum houstonianum thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered regularly but allowed to dry out partially between waterings. The plant enjoys moderate humidity and can be grown both indoors and outdoors.

Sol

This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Engrais

A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is ideal for Ageratum houstonianum. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.

Rempotage

Repotting is generally not necessary for annual growth, but if grown as a perennial, repotting every 1-2 years can help refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Repot in the spring before the growing season begins.

Propagation

Ageratum houstonianum can be propagated by seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be sown indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Cuttings can be taken in the spring or early summer and rooted in a moist, well-draining medium.

Taille

Pruning is beneficial to encourage bushier growth and more flowers. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to extend the flowering period. Light pruning can be done throughout the growing season to maintain shape and size.

Toxicité

Ageratum houstonianum is generally non-toxic to pets and humans. However, it is always advisable to prevent pets and children from ingesting any plant material.

Supplémentaire

Ageratum houstonianum is a versatile plant that can be used in borders, containers, and as ground cover. It attracts butterflies and other pollinators, making it a great addition to any garden focused on supporting local wildlife.
