Instructions d'entretien

Vitex agnus-castus thrives in full sun and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered when the soil is almost completely dry. The plant enjoys moderate humidity and should be protected from frost. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.

Sol

The chaste tree prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that is not too rich in nutrients. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Engrais

A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied in the spring to support growth. Fertilize sparingly, as too much can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of flowers.

Rempotage

Repotting is generally not necessary for outdoor plants, but if grown in a container, repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Choose a slightly larger pot and ensure good drainage.

Propagation

Vitex agnus-castus can be propagated by seeds or cuttings. Softwood cuttings taken in late spring or early summer root well. Seeds can be sown in the spring after the last frost.

Taille

Pruning should be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged branches and shape the plant as desired. Regular pruning encourages a bushier growth habit and more flowers.

Toxicité

Vitex agnus-castus is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, as with any plant, it is best to keep it out of reach of pets and children to avoid any potential issues.

Supplémentaire

The chaste tree is relatively low-maintenance and can be a beautiful addition to a garden. It attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it a great choice for a pollinator-friendly garden.
