    The plant prefers a bright location, but avoid direct sunlight. It is best to place the plant in a spot with indirect sunlight. Too much sunlight can damage the leaves.

    Yes, the plant loves warmth and thrives well at temperatures between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius. It is important not to expose the plant to cold drafts or temperature fluctuations. Make sure the plant is placed in a warm and sunny spot to grow optimally.

    Yes, plants that fall under the category of indoor plants can help purify the air in the house by absorbing harmful substances and releasing oxygen. Therefore, it is good to have indoor plants at home for cleaner air.

  • Houseplants like Scutellaria occasionally need pruning to maintain growth and shape. Regularly remove dead or damaged leaves and branches. Trim long stems back to promote compact growth.

    The plant needs regular watering, especially during the growing season in spring and summer. Make sure the soil is always slightly moist, but not waterlogged. Reduce watering during the winter months.

    For indoor plants like this one, it is important to use well-draining potting soil with plenty of organic material. Preferably, use a special potting soil for indoor plants or herbs, and avoid overly moist soil to prevent root rot. Repot the plant if necessary every few years, preferably in the spring.

    The plant thrives best in well-draining potting soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Make sure the soil is consistently moist, but avoid letting the roots sit in waterlogged soil. Fertilize the plant regularly with a general indoor plant fertilizer to promote growth.

    Provide a bright location, but avoid direct sunlight. Keep the soil lightly moist, but prevent the roots from standing in water. Give regular plant food during the growing season.

    It is important to regularly wipe the leaves of this plant with a damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using cleaning agents or chemicals as they may damage the leaves. Make sure to rotate the plant regularly to ensure all sides are cleaned evenly.

    Houseplants like Scutellaria generally need bright, indirect light. Avoid placing the plant in direct sunlight to prevent burning. Find a spot in the house where the plant receives enough light, for example, close to a window.

    This plant thrives well at room temperature and should avoid extreme heat or cold. Make sure the plant is not exposed to temperatures below 10°C or above 30°C. Place the plant in a location with an average room temperature between 18°C and 24°C.

    The humidity for this houseplant should be moderate, not too dry and not too moist. A humidity level of around 50-60% is recommended for healthy growth. Regularly misting the leaves can help maintain the humidity levels.

    Scutellaria thrives best in soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. A pH value between 6.0 and 7.0 is ideal for this houseplant. It is important to ensure good drainage to prevent the soil from becoming too acidic.

    Indoor plants do not need a lot of nutrients, so it is important to fertilize them moderately. Use a liquid fertilizer for indoor plants and only fertilize during the growing season, from March to September. Make sure the potting soil does not dry out while fertilizing.
