Bergeranthus Planting and Care Tips

Bergeranthus Care Tips

Cuttings: carried out in spring and autumn. Cut full leaves together with the base, insert them into a sand bed, and keep the greenhouse at 18-20°C. Roots form 18-20 days after insertion.

Division: carried out in March-April together with repotting. Separate the densely growing clumps and pot them up directly.
