Water:
Meadow flax originates from temperate regions and prefers moderate moisture. It requires weekly watering, allowing soil to dry slightly between sessions. Primarily an outdoor plant, meadow flax thrives with natural rainfall and light cycles, impacting its water uptake and growth rhythm.
Fertilize:
For optimal growth, meadow flax requires balanced nutrition with higher nitrogen fertilizer during spring and summer, applied monthly. Reduce in autumn and avoid in winter. Excessive fertilizer can harm meadow flax. Follow product instructions for even distribution to ensure robust health and aesthetic appeal.
Pruning:
Meadow flax features delicate blue flowers and slender stems, requiring minimal pruning. Trim in early to late spring for denser growth, and remove dead branches for better health and air circulation. Use clean, sharp tools to prevent damage and disease.
Propagation:
Meadow flax, from the Linaceae family, is admired for its delicate flowers and thrives when propagated by direct sowing into well-drained soil. Consistent moisture is crucial for germination, while avoiding waterlogging ensures healthy development. A stable environment promotes robust growth.
