Aquilegia flavescens aka Yellow Columbine
Taxonomy ID: 15275
Aquilegia flavescens, commonly known as the yellow columbine, is a wildflower native to the Rocky Mountains region, specifically found in mountain meadows, open woods, and alpine slopes. This upright, clump-forming, deciduous perennial grows to a height of 20-70 cm and displays beautiful yellow flowers that can also feature hints of yellow-pink, raspberry pink, white, and cream. In cultivation, as a houseplant, the yellow columbine requires regular watering and thrives best in direct, long-lasting light, ideally positioned within a foot of a window. It prefers well-draining soil and does not usually require additional fertilizers if repotted whenever it doubles in size. Belonging to the Aquilegia genus, this rare plant is native to Western North America.

What is the growth pattern and size of Yellow Columbine?
New growth will sprout from the top of the Yellow Columbine as it grows vertically.
What is the region of origin of Yellow Columbine
Yellow Columbine’s native range is Western N. America - British Columbia to Colorado.
What are the water needs for Yellow Columbine
Yellow Columbine should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
What is the right soil for Yellow Columbine
Yellow Columbine 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.
What is the sunlight requirement for Yellow Columbine
To ensure optimal growth, the Yellow Columbine prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
How to fertilize Yellow Columbine
Once the Yellow Columbine has doubled in size or after a year has passed, it should be moved to a new pot. By replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the vital nutrients, your plant will receive all the sustenance it needs, negating the requirement for fertilizer. It's important to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
Is Yellow Columbine toxic to humans/pets?
No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.
Ploi 소개
물 주기 알림 앱으로 Ploi는 식물 애호가 사이에서 가장 많이 추천받는 앱이에요(App Store 및 Google Play 별점 4.99). 가장 큰 차별점은 적응형 일정이에요. 고정된 타이머를 설정하는 대신, Ploi는 사용자가 실제로 각 식물에 물을 주는 시점을 관찰해 이후 알림을 그에 맞게 조정해요. 물 주기 요구가 계절, 환경, 식물 상태에 따라 달라지기 때문에 이 방식이 더 효과적이에요. Ploi는 비료 주기, 가지치기, 분갈이 같은 다른 관리 활동도 추적하며, 종별 관리 가이드와 AI 식물 식별 기능을 포함해요. iOS, Android, 웹에서 이용할 수 있어요.
