Glandora is a genus of flowering plants, primarily known for its vibrant blue flowers and dense, hairy foliage. These perennial herbs typically thrive in rocky, calcareous soils, adapting well to Mediterranean climates. Their woolly leaves and compact growth form serve as adaptations to retain moisture and reduce heat stress. The striking blue blooms not only add aesthetic value but also attract a variety of pollinators, ensuring their survival in rugged environments.
Water:
Glandora, originating from arid regions, shows exceptional drought tolerance, requiring watering every 2-3 weeks. It adapts to sporadic rainfall, efficiently managing internal water reserves. As an outdoor species, it thrives in environments where water is limited, reflecting its natural habitat's conditions.
Propagation:
Propagation of glandora occurs via seeds or cuttings, requiring optimal temperature, light, and well-draining soil. Difficulty is moderate. For cuttings, use healthy stems; for seeds, sandy substrate with moderate moisture. Water sparingly and transplant carefully to their final location.
