Onderhoudsinstructies
The ombú tree requires bright, direct sunlight and thrives in warm, moderate temperatures. It prefers a humid environment but can tolerate some dryness. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.Bodem
Phytolacca dioica prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but thrives best in nutrient-rich, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging.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
As a large tree, the ombú is not typically repotted. However, young trees can be transplanted to a more suitable location if necessary. Ensure the new location has adequate space for growth and proper soil conditions.Voortplanting
Phytolacca dioica can be propagated from seeds or cuttings. Seeds should be sown in a well-draining soil mix and kept moist until germination. Cuttings can be taken from healthy branches and rooted in a suitable growing medium.Snoeien
Pruning is necessary to maintain the shape and health of the ombú tree. Prune during the dormant season to remove dead or diseased branches and to shape the canopy. Use clean, sharp tools to make clean cuts.Toxiciteit
All parts of the Phytolacca dioica plant are toxic if ingested, particularly the berries and roots. It can cause gastrointestinal distress in humans and pets. Handle with care and keep away from children and animals.Aanvullend
