Blue plumbago care: 3 little tips to easily grow a sea of blue flowers, super beautiful

Blue plumbago (Plumbago auriculata) is a perennial self-supporting herbaceous plant. Its foliage is a vivid green and its flowers are light blue, very pleasing to the eye. It is also known as the flowering machine of summer. Many flower lovers like to grow it on balconies, in courtyards and other places. Give it a few strings, and it can be covered in flowers, exploding into a sea of blue blossoms.

Blue plumbago care is also fairly simple. You only need to know these 3 little tips well to keep it blooming continuously and give you a cool summer.

1. Light

Blue plumbago loves light. As long as it gets plenty of sunlight, it can grow quickly, form buds and bloom. Put it on a balcony, by a wall, on a rooftop or another sunny spot, and it will climb along walls, railings, strings and so on.

2. Watering

Blue plumbago is also extremely fond of water, and it tolerates high temperatures and high humidity, with little susceptibility to pests and diseases. In summer, when the weather is hot and temperatures are high, you should water it even more diligently, once a day, and spray more water on the leaves to increase humidity. However, you must absolutely avoid this: although it loves water very much, the potting soil must not become waterlogged, otherwise it will cause the leaves to turn yellow and lead to root rot.

3. Fertilizing

Blue plumbago grows vigorously and also needs sufficient nutrients. Give it some compound fertilizer every week, and you can also bury some bone meal in the potting soil. This can make its leaves even more vividly green and its flowers bloom more brightly. Summer is the peak blooming season, so do not apply too much nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise blue plumbago will only grow and not bloom.

Every week, you can also spray the leaves with 0.1% monopotassium phosphate, spraying both the front and back evenly, which can make blue plumbago produce more buds, bloom more flowers, and extend the flowering period, so flower lovers can enjoy it for a longer time.
