DETAILS
Onderhoudsinstructies
Bay laurel requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers a humid environment. Water the plant when the top layer of soil dries out, but avoid waterlogging. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.Bodem
Bay laurel prefers well-draining loamy soil. Ensure the soil mix has good drainage to prevent root rot. A mix of garden soil, compost, and sand works well for this plant.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the dormancy period.Verpotten
Repot bay laurel every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has drainage holes. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.Voortplanting
Bay laurel can be propagated through seeds or cuttings. For cuttings, take semi-hardwood cuttings in late 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 location until roots develop.Snoeien
Prune bay laurel in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged branches and shape the plant as desired. Regular pruning helps maintain its size and encourages bushier growth.Toxiciteit
Bay laurel is not toxic to pets or humans. However, the leaves should be used in moderation in cooking, as consuming large quantities can cause digestive issues.Aanvullend
Bay laurel can be grown indoors in a sunny spot or outdoors in a sheltered location. It is relatively pest-resistant but watch out for scale insects and aphids. Regularly check the plant for any signs of pests and treat them promptly.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
