Care Instructions
Campanula portenschlagiana prefers moderate temperatures and bright, indirect light. It should be watered when the soil partially dries out, and it thrives in moderate humidity. This plant is relatively easy to care for and can adapt to both indoor and outdoor environments.
Soil
The Dalmatian bellflower prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soil that retains some moisture without becoming waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
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
Repotting should be done every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and refresh the soil to provide new nutrients.
Propagation
Campanula portenschlagiana can be propagated by division or from cuttings. The best time to propagate is in the spring or early summer. Ensure that each division has a healthy root system and plant them in well-draining soil.
Pruning
Pruning is beneficial for maintaining the plant's shape and encouraging new growth. Remove spent flowers and trim back any leggy or overgrown stems. Pruning can be done throughout the growing season.
Toxicity
Campanula portenschlagiana is not toxic to pets or humans. It is safe to grow in gardens where pets and children are present.
Additional
