Bodem
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged.

Repot Aquilegia canadensis every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting is best done in the early spring before new growth begins.
Voortplanting

Prune the plant after flowering to remove spent blooms and encourage new growth. Cut back any dead or damaged foliage to maintain the plant's health and appearance.

Aquilegia canadensis is generally non-toxic to pets and humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any potential issues.
