DETAILS

Onderhoudsinstructies
Rue requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth and should be placed in a location where it can receive at least six hours of sunlight daily. 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
Rue prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. A mix of garden soil with sand or perlite can improve drainage.
Kunstmest
Fertilize rue with a balanced fertilizer, such as 5-10-10, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly, as rue does not require high nutrient concentrations. Over-fertilization can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Verpotten
Repot rue every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil mix.
Voortplanting
Rue can be propagated through seeds or cuttings. For seed propagation, sow seeds in a well-draining soil mix in early spring. For cuttings, take semi-hardwood cuttings in late spring or early summer, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining soil mix.
Snoeien
Prune rue regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches and trim back leggy growth. Pruning is best done in early spring before new growth begins.
Toxiciteit
Rue is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. All parts of the plant contain toxic compounds that can cause gastrointestinal distress, skin irritation, and other symptoms. Handle the plant with care and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
Aanvullend
Rue has been used historically for its medicinal properties, including as an anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic. However, due to its toxicity, it should be used with caution and under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
