Onderhoudsinstructies
Andrographis paniculata requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and moderate humidity levels. Water the plant when the soil is almost completely dry, but avoid waterlogging. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.
Bodem
The plant prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Good drainage is essential for the health of the plant.
Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing as it can lead to nutrient burn.
Verpotten
Repot Andrographis paniculata annually or when the plant 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 from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.
Voortplanting
Propagate Andrographis paniculata through seeds or stem cuttings. For seed propagation, sow the seeds in a well-draining soil mix and keep them moist until germination. For stem cuttings, take a healthy cutting, remove the lower leaves, and place it in water or soil until roots develop.
Snoeien
