Antirrhinum majus aka Snapdragon

Snapdragon presents a moderate level of care, which allows plant enthusiasts with some experience to expand their skills and knowledge.

Snapdragon’s native range is Europe. Naturalized in Britain[17].

Snapdragon should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Snapdragon loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Snapdragon thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Greater Snapdragon.

Repotting the Snapdragon is necessary either when it has doubled in size or once every year, whichever happens first. With fresh potting soil replenished annually, the plant will receive all the necessary nutrients, rendering the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that the source of a plant's energy is the sun, not fertilizer.

Snapdragon is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.
