Care Instructions
Epilobium roseum thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers bright, indirect light. It requires consistent moisture and benefits from a humid environment. Regular watering is essential, but avoid waterlogging the soil.Soil
The plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of garden soil with organic matter such as compost works well.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to support healthy growth.Repotting
Repot Epilobium roseum every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and refresh the soil mix to provide new nutrients.Propagation
Propagate the plant through seed or by division. The best time to propagate is in the spring. For division, carefully separate the root clumps and replant them in suitable soil.Pruning
Prune the plant to remove dead or damaged stems and to encourage bushier growth. Pruning is best done in early spring before new growth begins.Toxicity
Epilobium roseum is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. It is generally considered safe to grow in gardens and homes.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
