DETAILS
Onderhoudsinstructies
Valerian requires moderate temperatures and indirect bright light for optimal growth. It prefers soil that is kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. The plant thrives in moderate humidity and should be protected from extreme temperatures. Regular watering and occasional feeding with a balanced fertilizer will help maintain its health.Bodem
Valerian prefers well-draining loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. The soil should be kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot. Adding organic matter to the soil can improve its structure and nutrient content.Kunstmest
Valerian benefits from a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season to support its growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.Verpotten
Repot valerian every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and use fresh, well-draining soil. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot. Water thoroughly after repotting.Voortplanting
Valerian can be propagated by seed, division, or cuttings. The best time to propagate is in the spring. For seed propagation, sow seeds in a well-draining seed mix and keep them moist until they germinate. For division, carefully separate the plant into smaller sections, each with its own roots, and replant them. Cuttings can be taken from healthy stems and rooted in water or a moist growing medium.Snoeien
Pruning valerian helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth. Prune the plant in early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged stems and cut back the plant to promote bushier growth. Deadheading spent flowers can also encourage more blooms.Toxiciteit
Valerian is generally considered non-toxic to pets and humans. However, it is always best to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidental ingestion. Some people may experience mild side effects such as headaches or dizziness when using valerian as a herbal remedy.Aanvullend
Valerian has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its calming and sedative properties. The roots are typically harvested in the fall and can be dried and used to make teas, tinctures, or capsules. The plant's strong aroma can attract beneficial insects to the garden, making it a valuable addition to any herb garden.BRENG EEN REVOLUTIE TEWEEG IN UW PLANTENVERZORGING
