DETAILS

Care Instructions
Tuberaria guttata is relatively easy to care for. It thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. The plant does not require high humidity and can tolerate dry conditions. Watering should be infrequent, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings.
Soil
This plant prefers well-draining, sandy soils. It can tolerate poor soil conditions but thrives best in moderately nutrient-rich soil. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental to the plant.
Fertilizer
Tuberaria guttata does not have high fertilizer requirements. If desired, a light application of a balanced fertilizer can be used during the growing season, but it is generally not necessary.
Repotting
As an annual plant, Tuberaria guttata does not require repotting. It completes its life cycle within a single growing season and does not need to be moved to a new pot.
Propagation
Propagation of Tuberaria guttata is typically done through seeds. Sow the seeds in well-draining soil in a sunny location. The best time to propagate is in the spring when temperatures are moderate.
Pruning
Pruning is not required for Tuberaria guttata. The plant naturally completes its life cycle within one growing season, and dead or spent flowers can be removed to maintain appearance if desired.
Toxicity
Tuberaria guttata is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. It is generally considered safe to grow in gardens and around homes.
