Onderhoudsinstructies
Salvia farinacea prefers bright, direct sunlight and moderate temperatures. It thrives in dry conditions and does not require frequent watering. Ensure the plant is kept in a well-ventilated area with moderate humidity. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.Bodem
This plant prefers well-draining loam soil. It can tolerate poor soil conditions but thrives best in moderately fertile soil. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.Verpotten
Repot Salvia farinacea every 1-2 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. Repotting is best done in the early spring before the growing season begins.Voortplanting
Propagate Salvia farinacea through stem cuttings or by division. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer and root them in a well-draining soil mix. Division can be done during repotting by carefully separating the root ball.Snoeien
Prune the plant regularly to remove spent flowers and encourage bushier growth. Pruning is best done in the early spring and throughout the growing season as needed. Cut back any leggy or overgrown stems to maintain a compact shape.Toxiciteit
Salvia farinacea is not toxic to pets or humans. It is safe to grow in gardens where pets and children may be present.Aanvullend
Salvia farinacea is drought-tolerant and can withstand periods of dry conditions. It attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, making it a great addition to pollinator gardens. Deadheading spent flowers can prolong the blooming period.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
