Care Instructions
Bupleurum falcatum requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers moderate humidity levels. Water the plant when the soil partially dries out, ensuring it does not become waterlogged. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages healthy growth.
Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent root rot. A mix of garden soil with compost or organic matter works well.
Fertilizer
Fertilize Bupleurum falcatum with a balanced fertilizer, such as 5-10-10, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and flowering.
Repotting
Repot Bupleurum falcatum every 2-3 years or when it 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.
Propagation
Propagate Bupleurum falcatum through seeds or division. Sow seeds in early spring or divide the plant in early autumn. Ensure the new divisions have healthy roots and replant them in well-draining soil.
Pruning
Prune Bupleurum falcatum in early spring to remove dead or damaged stems and to shape the plant. Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and more abundant flowering.
Toxicity
Bupleurum falcatum 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 accidental ingestion.
