For flowering to be longer, it is necessary to cut off withered flowers in time and apply mineral dressings
Campanula is very photophilous and tends to reach for the light source, therefore, the plant often grows obliquely and leads to a strong elongation of the shoots, which leads to a loss of decorative effect. To avoid this, you must regularly turn the pot in a circle.
Transplanting and caring for a indoor flower
If the flower was purchased in a store, it must be transplanted immediately. The pot for planting the campanula is chosen shallow, since the roots of the plant quickly fill the free space, but it blooms profusely only if the roots tightly fit the earthen lump. After the flower is planted, all the buds should be cut off, this will help it quickly adapt to the new place.
The decorativeness of the flower lasts a maximum of three years, then the flowering becomes less abundant, and the shoots are bare. The plant is difficult to transplant, so it is better to root the cuttings or grow a new flower from seeds
The plant does not require additional care, it is enough to regularly water and spray, and during active growth, apply complex fertilizers 2 times a month. In winter, the plant begins a dormant period, so watering should be carried out less often, and feeding should be stopped.
In order for the plant to retain its decorative effect for a long time, it is necessary to remove dried leaves and buds, and shorten the stems by a third for the winter.
Home Campanula is an unpretentious plant that does not require excessive effort and time-consuming. Under suitable conditions and care, it will give a lush scattering of beautiful and delicate flowers that will delight the eye and create competition for other indoor plants.
