Arum maculatum, commonly known as Lords-and-Ladies, is a tuberous geophyte native to temperate regions of Europe and western Asia. It belongs to the Araceae family and is known for its distinctive spathe and spadix flower structure. The plant goes dormant in the summer after flowering and fruiting.
Arum maculatum prefers moderate temperatures and indirect bright light. It thrives in environments with moderate humidity and should be kept evenly moist. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Bodem
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of garden soil with organic matter like compost works well.
Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize once a month during the growing season to support healthy growth.
Verpotten
Repot Arum maculatum every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repot during the dormant period in late summer or early autumn.
Voortplanting
Propagate by dividing the tubers during the dormant period. Carefully separate the tubers and plant them in individual pots or directly in the garden.
Snoeien
Pruning is not generally required for Arum maculatum. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain plant health and appearance.
Toxiciteit
Arum maculatum is toxic to both pets and humans. All parts of the plant contain calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause severe irritation and swelling if ingested. Handle with care and keep out of reach of children and pets.
Aanvullend
Arum maculatum can be a striking addition to shaded garden areas. It is also known for its ability to attract pollinators like flies, which are drawn to the plant's unique flower structure.
