DETAILS

Care Instructions
Calibrachoa parviflora requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and does well in environments with moderate humidity. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings. This plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors.
Soil
The plant prefers well-draining loamy soil. A soil mix that retains some moisture but also allows for good drainage is ideal. Avoid waterlogged conditions as they can lead to root rot.
Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is recommended. Fertilize the plant every two weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Repotting
Repot Calibrachoa parviflora when it outgrows its current container, typically every year or two. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.
Propagation
Propagation is usually done through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant it in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist and place the cutting in a bright, indirect light until roots develop.
Pruning
Pruning is necessary to maintain the plant's shape and encourage bushier growth. Trim back leggy stems and spent flowers regularly. Prune in the early spring before new growth begins.
Toxicity
Calibrachoa parviflora is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it is always a good practice to keep plants out of reach of pets and children.
