Instructions d'entretien

Globe Amaranth is relatively easy to care for. It prefers full sun and should be watered when the soil is dry. The plant thrives in warm temperatures and moderate humidity. It is drought-tolerant once established and does not require frequent watering. Regular deadheading can encourage more blooms.

Sol

Gomphrena globosa prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate poor soil conditions but performs best in moderately fertile soil. Ensure the soil dries out between waterings to prevent root rot.

Engrais

A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied once a month during the growing season. Over-fertilizing should be avoided as it can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.

Rempotage

As an annual plant, Gomphrena globosa does not typically require repotting. However, if grown in containers, it can be repotted in fresh soil at the beginning of the growing season to provide adequate nutrients.

Propagation

Globe Amaranth can be propagated from seeds. Sow the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Seeds should be lightly covered with soil and kept moist until germination.

Taille

Pruning is not necessary for Gomphrena globosa. However, deadheading spent flowers can promote additional blooming and maintain the plant's appearance.

Toxicité

Gomphrena globosa is non-toxic to pets and humans. It is safe to grow in gardens where children and pets are present.

Supplémentaire

Globe Amaranth is a great choice for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies to the garden. It is also known for its long-lasting flowers, which can be used in dried floral arrangements.
