Trigonotis TibeticaTrigonotis tibetica

Trigonotis tibetica prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogged conditions. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil begins to feel dry, especially during warmer months and active growth.

Reduce watering slightly during winter dormancy to prevent root rot, but do not allow the soil to dry out completely.

Pruning for Trigonotis tibetica is primarily for shaping and removing dead or damaged foliage. After flowering, you can trim back any leggy stems to encourage a more compact habit.

Remove spent flower stalks to prevent self-seeding if not desired. Generally, minimal pruning is required to maintain its natural form.

Propagation of Trigonotis tibetica can be achieved through division of established clumps in spring or early autumn.

Carefully separate the root ball into smaller sections, ensuring each section has viable roots and shoots. Alternatively, seeds can be sown in autumn or early spring under cool conditions, often requiring stratification.

Repot Trigonotis tibetica every two to three years, or when it becomes root-bound. Spring, just as new growth begins, is the ideal time for repotting.

Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, loam, and perlite. Repot into a slightly larger container to accommodate root growth.
