Instructions d'entretien

Vigna vexillata requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in warm temperatures and moderate humidity. Water the plant when the soil is almost completely dry, and ensure it has good air circulation. This plant can tolerate some drought but will perform best with regular watering during the growing season.

Récolte

Vigna vexillata, commonly known as the Zombi pea, is typically harvested when the pods are fully mature and dry. This usually occurs around 120 days after planting. To harvest, the pods should be picked by hand, ensuring they are dry and brittle. It is important to harvest before the pods shatter and release the seeds. After harvesting, the pods should be further dried in a well-ventilated area before threshing to extract the seeds. The seeds can then be stored in a cool, dry place for future use.

Sol

The plant prefers well-draining loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can harm the plant. A mix of garden soil with compost can provide the necessary nutrients and structure.

Engrais

Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season to support its development. Apply the fertilizer every 4-6 weeks, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Rempotage

Repot Vigna vexillata when it outgrows its current container or if the soil becomes compacted. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Repotting is best done in the early spring before the growing season begins.

Propagation

Propagate Vigna vexillata through seeds or cuttings. Seeds can be sown directly into the soil in the spring. Cuttings should be taken from healthy, mature plants and rooted in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the cuttings moist and in a warm, bright location until they establish roots.

Taille

Prune the plant to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems and trim back overgrown areas. Pruning is best done in the early spring before the growing season starts.

Toxicité

Vigna vexillata is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, as with all plants, it is advisable to prevent pets and children from ingesting any part of the plant.

Supplémentaire

Vigna vexillata can be used as a cover crop to improve soil health and prevent erosion. It is also known for its nitrogen-fixing abilities, which can benefit other plants in the garden.
