ðą How to Care for Siberian Bugloss to Prevent Grey Mould?
ð§ How to Water
Water when the top inch of soil begins to dry, roughly every 7 days. Never allow the soil to dry out completely. Increase frequency during hot spells. Mulching helps retain moisture between waterings.
âïļ Lighting
Thrives in partial to full shade. Tolerates a few hours of gentle morning sun but afternoon sun causes leaf scorch. Indoors, place near a filtered-light window. Variegated cultivars need slightly more light to maintain their markings.
ðŠī Ideal Soil
Prefers fertile, moist, well-draining loamy soil. Amend with compost before planting. Tolerates a wide pH range (5.5â8.0). Avoid compacted or waterlogged conditions. Apply mulch to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature.
