Instructions d'entretien

Butterfly pea plants require bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. They prefer moderate temperatures and moderate humidity levels. Water the plant when the soil partially dries out, ensuring it does not become waterlogged. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.

Sol

Clitoria ternatea prefers well-draining loamy soil. Ensure the soil mix allows for good drainage to prevent root rot. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal for this plant.

Engrais

Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering.

Rempotage

Repot the butterfly pea plant when it outgrows its current container, typically every 1-2 years. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage and fresh loamy soil. Handle the roots gently to avoid damage.

Propagation

Propagate Clitoria ternatea through seeds or stem cuttings. Sow seeds in a well-draining soil mix and keep them moist until germination. For stem cuttings, take a healthy cutting and root it in water or soil during the growing season.

Taille

Prune the plant regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems and trim back excessive growth to keep the plant manageable.

Toxicité

Clitoria ternatea is generally non-toxic to pets and humans. However, as with any plant, it is advisable to prevent pets and children from ingesting large quantities.

Supplémentaire

Butterfly pea flowers are often used to make a vibrant blue tea, which changes color with the addition of acidic substances like lemon juice. The plant is also known for its nitrogen-fixing properties, which can improve soil fertility.
