Campanula rhomboidalis, commonly known as the Rhomboid Bellflower, is a perennial plant native to mountainous regions of Europe. It belongs to the family Campanulaceae and the genus Campanula. This plant is known for its charming blue to violet bell-shaped flowers. It typically undergoes a dormancy period during the winter months.
Campanula rhomboidalis thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers bright, indirect light. It requires regular watering, allowing the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Maintaining moderate humidity levels will help the plant flourish. Ensure it is protected from extreme temperatures and drafts.
Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. A mix of garden soil with some organic matter works well. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10 during the growing season. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and flowering.
