Care Instructions
Campanula garganica prefers bright, indirect light and moderate temperatures. It should be watered when the soil partially dries out, and it benefits from moderate humidity. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages blooming.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot, so a soil mix that includes sand or perlite can be beneficial.Fertilizer
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied during the growing season. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and flowering.Repotting
Repot Campanula garganica every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repot in the spring before the growing season begins.Propagation
Propagate by division or from cuttings. Division can be done in the spring or fall, while cuttings should be taken in the spring. Ensure cuttings have at least one node and plant them in a well-draining soil mix.Pruning
Prune after flowering to remove spent blooms and maintain the plant's shape. Regular pruning encourages new growth and more blooms in the next season.Toxicity
Campanula garganica is not toxic to pets or humans, making it a safe choice for households with animals and children.Additional
