DETAILS
Onderhoudsinstructies
Rhubarb requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth and thrives in moderate temperatures. It prefers soil that is kept evenly moist and benefits from a humid environment. Regular watering and ensuring the soil does not dry out completely are essential for healthy growth.Oogst
Rheum rhabarbarum, commonly known as rhubarb, is typically harvested in the spring, starting in the second year after planting. Harvesting is done by pulling the stalks from the base rather than cutting them, which helps to prevent damage to the plant. Only the stalks are edible; the leaves contain oxalic acid and should be discarded. Harvesting should be done when the stalks are 12-18 inches long and at least 1 inch thick. It's important to leave some stalks on the plant to ensure continued growth and health.Bodem
Rhubarb prefers well-draining loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support its nutrient needs. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Rhubarb benefits from a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize in early spring and again in mid-summer to support vigorous growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive leaf growth at the expense of the stalks.Verpotten
Rhubarb can be repotted or transplanted in early spring or fall. Choose a large container or a well-prepared garden bed. Ensure the crown is just above the soil surface and water thoroughly after planting.Voortplanting
Rhubarb is typically propagated by division. Divide the crowns in early spring or fall, ensuring each division has at least one strong bud. Plant the divisions in well-prepared soil and water thoroughly.Snoeien
Pruning is necessary to remove flower stalks as they appear, which helps direct energy back to the edible stalks. Remove any dead or damaged leaves to maintain plant health.Toxiciteit
Rhubarb leaves contain oxalic acid and anthraquinone glycosides, which are toxic to both humans and pets. Ingestion can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Only the stalks are safe to eat.Aanvullend
Rhubarb is a hardy plant that can tolerate cold winters, making it suitable for temperate climates. Mulching around the base can help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Regular harvesting of the stalks encourages new growth.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
