Can Daphne koreana be grown indoors?

1. Can it be kept indoors?

Daphne can be grown indoors. It is non-toxic and harmless, and has a certain fragrance. In addition, it does not like strong light, so indoor cultivation is also suitable for its growth. However, due to its strong smell, you may feel uncomfortable if you are not used to it. If this happens, it is not suitable to be kept indoors.

2. How to maintain

1. Soil: Daphne koreana grows well in loose, fertile and well-drained acidic soil. Alkaline soil cannot be used as it will be detrimental to its growth. You can add garden soil to peat soil as culture soil, and add a small amount of base fertilizer to provide nutrients.

2. Light: Daphne koreana prefers scattered light, and direct strong light can easily burn it. When growing it indoors, place it in semi-shade and avoid exposure to strong sunlight. But in winter, putting it in the sun can not only supplement the light but also increase the temperature.

3. Watering: Daphne koreana is afraid of moisture, so the amount of water should be controlled and no water should be allowed to accumulate in the pot. Generally, you should water the plant after the upper layer of the soil is dry, and also spray the leaves with clean water to increase the humidity of the air.

4. Fertilization: Generally, organic fertilizer is chosen for fertilizing Daphne koreana. It should be fully decomposed before use, otherwise it will easily cause fertilizer damage. Before wintering, you can apply some manure to provide sufficient nutrients to allow it to spend the winter safely.
