Onderhoudsinstructies
Mussaenda philippica requires bright, indirect light and thrives in warm, humid conditions. It prefers consistently moist soil and should be watered regularly to maintain its lush appearance. The plant does well in moderate temperatures and high humidity, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor growth in tropical regions.Bodem
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A soil mix rich in organic matter is ideal. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, which can be a common issue in overly wet conditions.Kunstmest
Mussaenda philippica benefits from regular feeding with a balanced fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 N-P-K formulation. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth and vibrant blooms.Verpotten
Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the previous one and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting is best done in the spring before the growing season begins.Voortplanting
Mussaenda philippica can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings from healthy, non-flowering stems in the spring or early summer. Root the cuttings in a moist, well-draining soil mix and keep them in a warm, humid environment until they establish roots.Snoeien
Pruning is necessary to maintain the shape and size of the plant. Prune after the flowering season to remove dead or damaged branches and to encourage new growth. Regular pruning also helps to promote a bushier appearance.Toxiciteit
