Onderhoudsinstructies
Plectranthus purpuratus thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered when the top layer of soil feels dry, and it benefits from higher humidity levels. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages bushier growth.Bodem
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. A mix that retains some moisture but does not stay waterlogged is ideal. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to support healthy growth.Verpotten
Repot Plectranthus purpuratus every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and refresh the soil mix to provide new nutrients.Voortplanting
Propagate by taking stem cuttings in the spring or early summer. Place the cuttings in water or a moist soil mix until roots develop, then transplant them into individual pots.Snoeien
Prune regularly to remove dead or leggy growth and to encourage a fuller, bushier plant. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season as needed.Toxiciteit
Plectranthus purpuratus is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to avoid any potential issues.Aanvullend
To enhance the plant's appearance and health, occasionally mist the leaves to increase humidity and clean off any dust. This plant can also be grown outdoors in subtropical climates, where it can spread and create a lush ground cover.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
