Festuca ovina aka Ovina
Taxonomy
Common names
Ovina, Sheep Fescue, Sheep's Fescue, GimuiteolHow to care for Ovina
Difficulty
With its straightforward care requirements, Ovina is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.
Water
Ovina should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Ovina 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.
Lighting
To ensure optimal growth, the Ovina 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.
Toxicity
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.
Fertilizer
Once the Ovina 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.
Region of origin
Ovina’s native range is Most of Europe, including Britain.
