Onderhoudsinstructies
Baby's Breath thrives in full sun and requires moderate temperatures. It prefers well-drained soil and should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. This plant does well in moderate humidity and can tolerate a range of temperatures, making it relatively easy to care for.Bodem
Gypsophila paniculata prefers well-drained loamy soil with a neutral pH. It can tolerate poor soil conditions but thrives best in moderately fertile soil. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot, so ensure the soil mix allows excess water to escape easily.Kunstmest
Fertilize Baby's Breath with a balanced fertilizer, such as 5-10-10, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, as this plant does not require heavy feeding. Over-fertilization can lead to weak, leggy growth.Verpotten
Repotting is generally not necessary for Baby's Breath, as it prefers to grow outdoors in garden beds. However, if grown in containers, repot every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth. Choose a well-draining potting mix and a container with drainage holes.Voortplanting
Gypsophila paniculata can be propagated by seeds or cuttings. Sow seeds in early spring or take cuttings in late spring to early summer. Ensure the cuttings have at least two nodes and plant them in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist until roots develop.Snoeien
Pruning is essential to maintain the shape and encourage new growth. Trim back the plant after flowering to remove spent blooms and prevent self-seeding. Cut back to the base in late fall to prepare the plant for dormancy.Toxiciteit
Gypsophila paniculata is not toxic to pets or humans. However, handling the plant may cause mild skin irritation in some individuals. It is always best to wear gloves when pruning or handling the plant.Aanvullend
Baby's Breath is a popular choice for floral arrangements due to its delicate appearance and long-lasting blooms. It can also be used as a ground cover or border plant in gardens.
