Wahlenbergia capillacea, a member of the Campanulaceae family, is a subshrub native to subtropical regions. It is known for its delicate, bell-shaped flowers and fine, capillary-like foliage. This plant thrives in well-drained soils and is often found in open, sunny areas.
Wahlenbergia capillacea requires bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. It prefers a humid environment but can tolerate average household humidity levels. Water the plant when the top layer of soil feels dry, ensuring it does not sit in waterlogged conditions.
土壌
This plant prefers well-draining loam soil. A mix that includes sand and organic matter will help ensure proper drainage and nutrient availability. Avoid heavy clay soils that retain too much moisture.
肥料
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to support healthy growth and flowering.
植え替え
Repot Wahlenbergia capillacea every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.
伝搬
Propagate Wahlenbergia capillacea through seed or cuttings. For cuttings, take a healthy stem cutting and place it in a moist, well-draining soil mix. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop.
剪定
Prune the plant regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged stems and trim back leggy growth. Pruning is best done during the growing season.
毒性
Wahlenbergia capillacea is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any accidental ingestion.
