Campanula or bell is a perennial plant with a pronounced dormant period, the care of which changes significantly at this time.
Campanula usually blooms in June-August, the rest of the year the bell will not be so attractive.
What pot is needed for Campanula
To grow a campanula flower, you will need a large pot, as the root system of the flower is developing rapidly, and a soil mixture of soddy soil, humus and coarse sand in a ratio of 1:1:1.
Care
The campanula plant is moisture-loving, so it is watered regularly and plentifully, especially in dry seasons.
During the dormant period, watering is reduced to 1-2 times a month, but the earthy coma in the pot should not be allowed to dry out completely.
For humidification use settled water at room temperature or slightly warmer.
When the dormant period comes, around October, the campanula needs to shorten the stems and cut off all the flowers with buds.
At Chirillo, Pozharsky and Portenschlag, we cut off only mustaches and peduncles, remove dried leaves.
It is better not to cut the first years, it will be enough to remove the flowers and buds.
How to propagate a campanula flower
Campanula is very easy to propagate in the spring by dividing the bush. Its roots are very thin; they completely braid the earthen ball, so you often have to cut it with a knife.
Soil: In early March, the plant should be transplanted into a fresh mixture of soddy, leafy, peaty soil and sand (6:3:1:1).
