Care Instructions
Globularia salicina requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It prefers moderate temperatures and can tolerate dry conditions. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings. This plant does well in moderate humidity levels.Soil
The Globe Daisy prefers well-draining loamy soil. It can tolerate rocky or sandy soils but thrives best in a loam mix. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can harm the plant.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically in spring and summer, to promote healthy growth and flowering.Repotting
Repotting is necessary when the plant outgrows its current container. This is usually done in the spring. Carefully remove the plant from its pot, trim any dead roots, and place it in a slightly larger container with fresh soil.Propagation
Globularia salicina can be propagated through cuttings. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer, dip them in rooting hormone, and plant them in a well-draining soil mix. Keep the soil moist until roots develop.Pruning
Pruning is required to maintain the shape and health of the plant. Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged branches and trim back overgrown areas to encourage bushier growth.Toxicity
Globularia salicina is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. It is generally considered safe to grow in gardens and around homes.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
