Container Cultivation of Lobelia erinus
Lobelia erinus L.
Growing Lobelia erinus in containers requires strict control of substrate moisture and temperature, given the high sensitivity of the root system to overheating, waterlogging, and salt concentration.
In the reference 40 varieties crop Edging lobelia, where this is mentioned in the description.
In container cultivation of Lobelia erinus, it is crucial to prevent overheating of the root system, which is achieved by using materials with high thermal insulation, and to maintain stable substrate moisture without the risk of waterlogging. The optimal choice is light soilless substrates based on peat and perlite with a pH in the range of 5.2–6.5, which ensure the necessary aeration and drainage.
The root system of lobelia has low tolerance to high salt concentrations, so frequent fractional fertilization with low doses of nutrients is preferred. To maintain the decorative spherical shape of plants in limited soil volume, excessive nitrogen nutrition should be restricted and regular pruning of stems should be applied, especially for trailing cultivars in hanging baskets.
