How difficult is it to take care of Siberian Larkspur
Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Siberian Larkspur due to its easy-going nature.
What are the water needs for Siberian Larkspur
Siberian Larkspur should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
What is the right soil for Siberian Larkspur
Siberian Larkspur 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 Siberian Larkspur
Siberian Larkspur 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 Siberian Larkspur.
How to fertilize Siberian Larkspur
Repotting the Siberian Larkspur 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.
Is Siberian Larkspur toxic to humans/pets?
Siberian Larkspur is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.
What is the growth pattern of Siberian Larkspur
Siberian Larkspur grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.
