Instructions d'entretien

Lithodora fruticosa requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and moderate humidity levels. Water the plant when the soil is almost completely dry, but avoid waterlogging. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.

Sol

This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot. A slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal for its growth.

Engrais

Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically in spring and summer, to promote healthy growth and flowering.

Rempotage

Repot Lithodora fruticosa every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Repotting is best done in early spring before the growing season begins.

Propagation

Propagate Lithodora fruticosa through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in late spring or early summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant it in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist until roots develop.

Taille

Prune the plant after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches. Light pruning can also be done in early spring to prepare for the growing season.

Toxicité

Lithodora fruticosa 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 avoid any accidental ingestion.

Supplémentaire
