The plant prefers well-draining loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil dries out almost completely between waterings to prevent root rot.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
Repot Globularia vulgaris every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and use fresh loam soil. Repotting is best done in early spring before the growing season begins.Propagation
