How to keep Valeriana Fauriei.
Light
Valerian thrives optimally in locations with abundant sunshine, though it can survive in areas where the sun shines only half of the time. Originally hailing from wide-open environments, ample sunlight is essential for its growth. Excessive sunlight might lead to its drooping, while insufficient sunlight could interfere with its luxurious growth.
Temperature
Valerian is a type of flora that prefers habitats with temperatures ranging from 68 to 95°F (20 to 35℃). It flourishes in places with a mild climate and may need alterations in temperature depending on the seasonal conditions of its location.
Fertilizer
Valerian usually requires only one dose of fertilizer in the spring, but optimizing its growth can be achieved with multiple feedings. Provide nourishment every one to one and a half months. The benefit of fertilization includes enhancing the look and functionality of the leaves, promoting a uniform color, and maintaining a healthy texture. It also boosts root development and the plant's ability to absorb nutrients, contributing to the longevity of the plant's health.
Pot & Repot
During the repotting of Valerian, opt for a container that is 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) larger and features sufficient drainage. Utilize a potting mix that drains well. Carry out the repotting process during spring or fall, making sure that the root ball sits a bit below the rim of the plant pot. After repotting, water it thoroughly and position it in a warm place where it can receive indirect sunlight.
