DETAILS

Onderhoudsinstructies
Hops require direct bright light for optimal growth and thrive in moderate temperatures. They prefer soil that is kept evenly moist and benefit from moderate humidity levels. Regular watering and ensuring the soil does not dry out completely are essential for healthy growth.
Oogst
Humulus lupulus, commonly known as hops, are typically harvested in late summer to early autumn, around August to September, when the cones are fully mature. The cones should feel dry and papery, and emit a strong, aromatic scent. Harvesting is done by cutting down the bines and then manually or mechanically picking the cones. It is important to handle the cones gently to avoid damaging the lupulin glands, which contain the essential oils and resins. After harvesting, the cones should be dried quickly to prevent mold and preserve their quality.
Bodem
Hops prefer loamy soil with good drainage. The soil should be rich in organic matter and have a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensuring proper drainage is crucial to prevent root rot and other moisture-related issues.
Kunstmest
Hops benefit from a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-5. Fertilize the plant during the growing season to support vigorous growth and development. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flower production.
Verpotten
Hops can be repotted if necessary, typically during the early spring before the growing season begins. Choose a larger container with good drainage and fresh, nutrient-rich soil. Handle the roots carefully to avoid damage.
Voortplanting
Hops can be propagated through rhizome cuttings. The best time to propagate is in early spring. Cut healthy rhizomes into sections, each with at least one bud, and plant them in well-prepared soil. Keep the soil moist until new growth appears.
Snoeien
Pruning is essential for hops to manage their vigorous growth. Prune the plant in early spring to remove any dead or weak stems. During the growing season, regularly trim back excessive growth to encourage better air circulation and light penetration.
Toxiciteit
Hops are generally non-toxic to pets and humans. However, ingestion of large quantities by pets, particularly dogs, can lead to a condition called malignant hyperthermia, which is a medical emergency. It is advisable to keep pets away from the plant.
Aanvullend
Hops are known for their rapid growth and can reach heights of up to 20 feet in a single growing season. Providing a sturdy trellis or support structure is essential to accommodate their climbing habit. Regular monitoring for pests and diseases, such as aphids and downy mildew, is important to maintain plant health.
