This plant is known for its small, bright red berries and delicate white flowers. It thrives in warm climates and can be found in various habitats, including forests and disturbed areas.
Rivina humilis prefers bright, indirect light and should be kept in a warm environment with moderate humidity. Water the plant regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, making it a versatile addition to your plant collection.
Bodem
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains some moisture. Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter to support its growth. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and berry production.
Verpotten
Repot Rivina humilis every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.
Voortplanting
Propagate Rivina humilis through seeds or stem cuttings. For stem cuttings, take a healthy cutting with several nodes, remove the lower leaves, and place it in moist soil or water until roots develop. For seeds, sow them in a well-draining soil mix and keep them moist until germination.
Snoeien
Prune Rivina humilis regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches and trim back leggy growth. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season.
Toxiciteit
Rivina humilis is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The berries contain toxic compounds that can cause gastrointestinal distress and other symptoms. Keep the plant out of reach of children and pets.
