Ruellia tuberosa requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers a humid environment. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.Sol
Ruellia tuberosa prefers well-draining loamy soil. The soil should be kept relatively dry, especially during its dormancy period. A mix of loam with some sand can help improve drainage and prevent waterlogging.Engrais
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks. Avoid fertilizing during the dormancy period.Rempotage
Repot Ruellia tuberosa every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Repot during the growing season, and be gentle with the tuberous roots to avoid damage.Propagation
Ruellia tuberosa can be propagated through seeds or by dividing the tubers. Propagate during the growing season. For tuber division, carefully separate the tubers and plant them in individual pots with well-draining soil.Taille
Prune Ruellia tuberosa to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove dead or damaged leaves and stems. Pruning is best done during the growing season.Toxicité
Ruellia tuberosa 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
