DÉTAILS

Instructions d'entretien
Dwarf nasturtium requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate a range of humidity levels. Water the plant when the soil is almost completely dry, and ensure it has good air circulation. Regularly check for pests and remove any dead or yellowing leaves to keep the plant healthy.
Récolte
Tropaeolum minus, commonly known as dwarf nasturtium, should be harvested when the flowers are fully open and vibrant, typically around 60 days after planting. To harvest, gently pinch or cut the flowers and leaves from the plant, ensuring not to damage the stems. The best time to harvest is in the morning after the dew has dried but before the heat of the day. Regular harvesting encourages more blooms and prolongs the flowering period. Ensure the plant is grown in well-drained soil and receives adequate sunlight for optimal growth.
Sol
Tropaeolum minus prefers well-draining loamy soil. The soil should be allowed to dry out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Adding organic matter can improve soil structure and fertility.
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 vibrant flowers.
Rempotage
Repotting is generally not necessary for annual plants like Tropaeolum minus. However, if you are growing it in a container, ensure the pot has good drainage and consider refreshing the soil at the beginning of each growing season.
Propagation
Dwarf nasturtium can be easily propagated from seeds. Sow the seeds directly in the soil after the last frost date. Keep the soil moist until germination, which usually occurs within 7-14 days.
Taille
Pruning is beneficial for Tropaeolum minus to encourage bushier growth and more flowers. Pinch back the tips of the plant regularly and remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain its appearance.
Toxicité
Tropaeolum minus is not toxic to pets or humans. In fact, its flowers and leaves are edible and often used in salads for their peppery flavor.
Supplémentaire
Dwarf nasturtium is a great companion plant in the garden as it can help deter pests like aphids. Its vibrant flowers also attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to any garden.
