Ornithogalum divergens, commonly known as Star of Bethlehem, is a bulbous perennial plant native to the Mediterranean region. It belongs to the Asparagaceae family and is known for its star-shaped white flowers. The plant undergoes a dormancy period during the summer months.
Ornithogalum divergens requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers a relatively dry environment. Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Maintain moderate humidity levels.
Bodem
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. Ensure the soil mix allows for good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. A mix of garden soil with sand or perlite can be beneficial.
Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically in spring and early summer, every 4-6 weeks.
Verpotten
Repot Ornithogalum divergens every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Repot during the dormancy period, usually in late summer or early fall.
Voortplanting
Propagate the plant by separating offsets or bulbils during the dormancy period. Plant the offsets in well-draining soil and water sparingly until new growth appears.
Snoeien
Pruning is not typically required for Ornithogalum divergens. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and health.
Toxiciteit
Ornithogalum divergens is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. All parts of the plant contain toxic compounds that can cause gastrointestinal distress and other symptoms. Handle with care and keep out of reach of children and pets.
