Lantana involucrata, commonly known as Buttonsage, is a flowering plant in the Verbenaceae family. It is native to the Caribbean and parts of Central and South America. This plant is known for its small, aromatic leaves and clusters of tiny, tubular flowers that can be white, pink, or lavender. It is a perennial shrub that can grow up to 1.5 meters tall and is often used in landscaping for its attractive appearance and ability to attract butterflies.
Lantana involucrata thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered when the soil is almost completely dry, and it benefits from a humid environment. This plant is relatively easy to care for but does require regular pruning to maintain its shape and encourage new growth.
Bodem
Lantana involucrata prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that is not too rich in nutrients. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Kunstmest
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied during the growing season to support healthy growth. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the active growing period.
Verpotten
Repotting should be done in the spring when the plant outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.
Voortplanting
Lantana involucrata can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant it in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist and place the cutting in a bright, indirect light until roots develop.
Snoeien
Pruning is essential for Lantana involucrata to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. Prune in the early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged branches and trim back overgrown areas to promote a bushier appearance.
Toxiciteit
Lantana involucrata is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. All parts of the plant contain toxins that can cause gastrointestinal distress, including vomiting and diarrhea. Handle with care and keep out of reach of children and pets.
