ðą How to Care for Dalmatian Bellflower to Prevent Botrytis?
ð§ How to Water
Water every 2-3 days during spring and summer, allowing the top layer of soil to partially dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging the roots, as excess moisture can cause fungal root rot. Reduce watering significantly in autumn and winter.
âïļ Lighting
Thrives in full sun to dappled shade. In hotter climates, provide afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch. Bright light encourages prolific flowering. Avoid deep shade, which reduces blooming.
ðŠī Ideal Soil
Plant in well-draining, loamy to sandy soil enriched with organic matter. Adding perlite or coarse grit improves drainage. Tolerates chalky and slightly alkaline soils. Avoid heavy clay or waterlogged conditions.
