Genus : Aquilegia

🔖 Care Tips

This plant typically lives for 3-5 years, with the healthiest growth occurring in the 2nd to 3rd year. Sow seeds in the fall to benefit from the cold temperatures. If sowing in spring, moisten a paper towel or potting soil and expose the seeds to 3-5°C for 2-4 weeks before planting. After sowing, lightly cover the seeds with soil or leave them uncovered, maintaining a temperature of 15-20°C. Germination occurs in 2-4 weeks.

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

This plant grows in various places like grasslands and wetlands in the Northern Hemisphere. Since the growing conditions vary by species, make sure to identify which species it is.

🪨 Soil Mix

When planting in the yard, ensure proper drainage to prevent water pooling. It's important to plant in well-draining soil. A common mix is 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% humus. However, the ratio may vary depending on conditions and environment.

🌡️ Environment

The ideal temperature is 15-24°C. If it exceeds 25°C, the plant may not bloom and growth can stop. It is cold-resistant and can survive winter outdoors. A humidity level of 40-50% is best. It grows well with typical indoor and outdoor humidity levels.

☀️ Light

The more light a plant receives, the better. However, it can also adapt and grow well in indirect light.

💧 Water

If planted in the yard, this plant is drought-tolerant and grows well without frequent watering. However, if the soil becomes too dry, it's good to water it. If planted in a pot, water it when the soil dries out.

🌱 Propagate

With the right environment, plants can be pollinated by wind or insects. If cross-pollination doesn't occur, they can self-pollinate and reproduce. When multiple species are planted together, they may crossbreed. To avoid this, consider artificial pollination or planting a single species. Removing wilted flowers can prevent seed formation and spreading.

💊 Fertilize

Fertilizer is not needed in large amounts, but using it according to the recommended dosage in spring before flowering can promote more vigorous growth.

🌺 Flower

The flowering period is from spring to summer, lasting about 3-4 weeks. Flowers may bloom in the year they are sown, but usually bloom the following year. The flowers have long spurs, giving them a unique shape.

😵 Toxicity

Be cautious with pets and young children as it is toxic.
