To care for Bauhinia purpurea, provide it with bright, direct sunlight for several hours a day. It prefers moderate to warm temperatures and high humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid waterlogging. Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent fungal diseases.Bodem
Bauhinia purpurea prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of garden soil, compost, and sand can provide the ideal growing medium. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.Kunstmest
Fertilize Bauhinia purpurea with a balanced fertilizer, such as 10-10-10, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to provide the necessary nutrients for optimal growth and flowering.Verpotten
Repot Bauhinia purpurea when it outgrows its current container or if the soil becomes compacted. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage holes. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil. Water thoroughly after repotting.Voortplanting
Bauhinia purpurea can be propagated through seeds or cuttings. For seed propagation, soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting them in a well-draining soil mix. For cuttings, take semi-hardwood cuttings in late spring or early summer, dip them in rooting hormone, and plant them in a moist, well-draining medium.Snoeien
