Campanula glomerata aka Dane's Blood

With a bit of knowledge and dedication, you can successfully care for Dane's Blood, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a moderate challenge.

Dane's Blood should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Dane's Blood 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.

To ensure optimal growth, the Dane's Blood 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.

During the wintertime, it is common for Dane's Blood plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.

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.

Once the Dane's Blood 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.

The Dane's Blood displays clumping growth habits, with new shoots arising from the soil close to the parent plant.

Dane's Blood’s native range is Most of Europe, including Britain, to temperate Asia.
