Instructions d'entretien
Congea tomentosa requires bright, indirect light and thrives in warm, humid conditions. It prefers moderate temperatures and should be kept in a location where it can receive at least six hours of light daily. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging.Sol
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix of garden soil, compost, and sand can provide the ideal growing medium. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter to support its nutrient needs.Engrais
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and flowering. Reduce feeding during the dormant period, if applicable.Rempotage
Repot Congea tomentosa every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is one size larger 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.Propagation
Propagate Congea tomentosa through stem cuttings. Take cuttings during the growing season, preferably in spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant it in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil moist and provide indirect light until roots develop.Taille
Prune the plant regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems and trim back overgrown branches. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before the new growth begins.Toxicité
Congea tomentosa is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always advisable to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidental ingestion.Supplémentaire
To support its climbing habit, provide a trellis or other support structure for Congea tomentosa to grow on. Regularly check for pests such as aphids and spider mites, and treat any infestations promptly to keep the plant healthy.RÉVOLUTIONNEZ LE SOIN DE VOS PLANTES
