Care Instructions
Bidens aurea requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers a humid environment. Regular watering is essential to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during the growing season. The plant can tolerate a range of temperatures but performs best in a subtropical climate.Soil
Bidens aurea prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A soil mix that includes organic matter will provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is ideal for Bidens aurea. Fertilize the plant every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote vigorous growth and flowering. Reduce fertilization during the dormancy period.Repotting
Repot Bidens aurea every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its current pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil. Water thoroughly after repotting.Propagation
Bidens aurea can be propagated through division or stem cuttings. The best time to propagate is during the spring or early summer. For division, separate the rhizomes and plant them in individual pots. For stem cuttings, take a healthy cutting, dip it in rooting hormone, and plant it in a moist soil mix.Pruning
Pruning is essential for maintaining the shape and health of Bidens aurea. Prune the plant in early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged stems and trim back overgrown areas to encourage bushier growth. Regular deadheading of spent flowers will promote continuous blooming.Toxicity
Bidens aurea is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always advisable to keep plants out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidental ingestion.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
