Epilobium roseum, commonly known as Pale Willowherb, is a herbaceous perennial plant in the family Onagraceae. It is native to Europe and parts of Asia, typically found in moist, shaded areas such as riverbanks and forest edges. The plant has a dormancy period during the winter months.
Epilobium roseum thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers bright, indirect light. It requires consistent moisture and benefits from a humid environment. Regular watering is essential, but avoid waterlogging the soil.
土壌
The plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of garden soil with organic matter such as compost works well.
肥料
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, to support healthy growth.
植え替え
Repot Epilobium roseum every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and refresh the soil mix to provide new nutrients.
伝搬
Propagate the plant through seed or by division. The best time to propagate is in the spring. For division, carefully separate the root clumps and replant them in suitable soil.
剪定
Prune the plant to remove dead or damaged stems and to encourage bushier growth. Pruning is best done in early spring before new growth begins.
毒性
Epilobium roseum is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. It is generally considered safe to grow in gardens and homes.
