Onderhoudsinstructies
Lippia alba requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate some drought once established. The plant does well in moderate humidity and should be watered when the soil dries out almost completely. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.Bodem
Lippia alba prefers well-draining loam soil but can tolerate a variety of soil types. Ensure the soil dries out between waterings to prevent root rot. Good drainage is essential for the plant's health.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 5-5-5. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.Verpotten
Repot Lippia alba every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one 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
Lippia alba can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, remove the lower leaves, and place the cuttings in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist and provide bright, indirect light until roots develop.Snoeien
Prune Lippia alba regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches and trim back leggy growth. Pruning is best done in the spring or after the flowering period.Toxiciteit
Lippia alba is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, as with any plant, it is best to keep it out of reach of pets and children to prevent accidental ingestion.Aanvullend
Lippia alba is often used in traditional medicine for its potential therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. It is also a popular choice for herbal teas and culinary uses due to its aromatic leaves.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
