Growing time: Statice is an annual plant that blooms profusely from summer to fall. Plants begin flowering approximately 10 to 12 weeks after sowing.
Special Features: Statice Mix produces flowers in a wide range of colors including purple, pink, yellow, white and blue. The flowers are clustered in spikes and are appreciated both fresh and dried, maintaining their vibrant color after drying, making them an excellent choice for permanent floral arrangements.
Lighting: Prefers full sun for optimal growth and abundant flowering. Make sure plants receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
Watering: Statice is relatively drought tolerant, but prefers regular watering during dry periods to maintain continued flowering. Keep the soil lightly moist, but well drained, and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal diseases.
Pests: Statice is generally resistant to pests, although it can occasionally be affected by aphids and spider mites. The use of environmentally friendly products, such as potassium soap and Neem oil, is recommended to keep pests under control.
Cold resistance: Statice is sensitive to cold and does not tolerate frost well. It is recommended to sow after the risk of frost has passed in spring.
Substrate: A well-drained, slightly fertile substrate is recommended. Statice is an adaptable plant that can grow in poor soil, but a soil enriched with compost will give better results.
Harvest: Statice flowers can be harvested when fully open and used fresh in arrangements or dried for decorative use. To dry, hang the flowers upside down in a dark, well-ventilated location.
Shipping: All shipments are made through Bluespress. Check out our growing manuals on our website: www.arcademendel.com .
