Care Instructions
Scopolia carniolica prefers moderate temperatures and indirect bright light. It thrives in environments with moderate humidity and should be kept evenly moist. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. Regular monitoring of soil moisture is essential to prevent overwatering or drying out.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is crucial to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, typically every 4-6 weeks, to support healthy growth.Repotting
Repot Scopolia carniolica every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Propagation
Propagate Scopolia carniolica through seed or division. The best time to propagate is in early spring. For division, carefully separate the plant's root clumps and replant them in suitable soil.Pruning
Pruning is necessary to maintain the plant's shape and remove any dead or damaged foliage. Prune in early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts.Toxicity
Scopolia carniolica is highly toxic to both pets and humans. All parts of the plant contain toxic alkaloids, which can cause severe symptoms if ingested. Handle the plant with care and keep it out of reach of children and pets.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
