Pulicaria insignis

Pulicaria insignis grows on high, rocky meadows and slopes in dry, temperate areas. It is a small, but tough example of its genus, sometimes growing straight out of rock crevices. Perhaps this is why its species name, "insignis," comes from the Latin word for "remarkable." It is part of Tibet's herbal tradition.

Water: Pulicaria insignis thrives in semi-arid regions with moderate drought tolerance and benefits from weekly watering. It needs well-draining soil that retains moisture to simulate natural wet-dry cycles. As an outdoor plant, its growth cycle aligns with seasonal rains, influencing its active growth and dormancy periods.

Fertilize: For pulicaria insignis, use a balanced fertilizer monthly during growth, cutting back in dormancy. Apply at half strength to avoid root burn, especially post-blooming. Ensure soil is moist and avoid direct contact with foliage for optimal nutrient absorption while wearing gloves for safety.

Pruning: Pulicaria insignis thrives with biannual pruning in early and late spring. Remove damaged branches and lightly trim for shape, enhancing air circulation and plant health. Ensure clean cuts just above nodes to promote regrowth, maintaining its lush appearance throughout the season.

Propagation: Pulicaria insignis can be propagated from cuttings by selecting healthy, non-flowering stems and using rooting hormone in a well-drained substrate. Maintaining consistent moisture and warmth promotes root development while minimizing rot or disease risks, leading to robust new plants for planting.
