Onderhoudsinstructies
Salvia leucantha requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate some drought once established. Regular watering is needed during the growing season, but the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings. Moderate humidity levels are ideal.Bodem
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that is not too rich in nutrients. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Kunstmest
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied during the growing season. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and flowering.Verpotten
Repotting is generally not necessary for Salvia leucantha unless it is grown in a container. If repotting is needed, do so in the spring before the growing season begins. Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.Voortplanting
Salvia leucantha can be propagated through cuttings or division. Take cuttings in late spring or early summer and root them in a well-draining potting mix. Division can be done in the spring by separating the root clumps.Snoeien
Pruning is beneficial for maintaining the shape and encouraging new growth. Prune back in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged stems and cut back to promote bushier growth.Toxiciteit
Salvia leucantha is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. It is generally considered safe to grow in gardens where pets and children are present.Aanvullend
To encourage more blooms, deadhead spent flowers regularly. Mulching around the base of the plant can help retain moisture and suppress weeds. In colder climates, provide winter protection by mulching heavily or bringing container plants indoors.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
