While typically grown outdoors, it can also be cultivated indoors as a houseplant, provided its specific needs are met. Here's how to care for Heliotrope inside your home:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1. Light\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heliotrope needs plenty of direct sunlight to thrive. Place the plant near a sunny window where it will receive at least 6 hours of direct light per day. South-facing windows are often ideal for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2. Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: Maintain room temperature around 21-24°C (70-75°F) during the day. Avoid cold drafts and ensure the temperature does not drop below 10°C (50°F) at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3. Watering\u003c\/strong\u003e: Keep the soil evenly moist, but avoid overwatering. Water the plant when the soil surface begins to dry slightly. Make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4. Humidity\u003c\/strong\u003e: Heliotrope appreciates slightly higher ambient humidity. You can increase humidity around the plant by placing a pebble tray filled with water nearby or by using a humidifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5. Fertilization\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fertilize the plant with a balanced flowering plant fertilizer approximately every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilizer in autumn and winter when growth slows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6. Pruning\u003c\/strong\u003e: Prune the plant as needed to maintain its shape and remove faded flowers. Pruning is usually done in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7. Repotting\u003c\/strong\u003e: Repotting is generally only necessary if the plant becomes root-bound in its pot. Use a slightly larger pot with a good quality, well-draining potting mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"FleurExcel Inc.","offers":[{"title":"1 gallon","offer_id":49759328010544,"sku":"","price":15.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6\"","offer_id":47024386015536,"sku":"","price":46.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/4658\/6672\/files\/5cc1a98a78e77_1_heliotrope_tige_blue_bd.jpg?v=1698354502","url":"https:\/\/fleurexcel.com\/en\/products\/heliotrope","provider":"FleurExcel Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
