The Mühlenbeckia is a very attractive houseplant
Is the Mühlenbeckia suitable as a houseplant?
Both the Mühlenbeckia axillaris (black fruited wire shrub) and the Mühlenbeckia complexa (white-fruited wire shrub) can be kept as a houseplant. With their creeping shoots, they are doing well in a flower basket or at another elevated location.
Where does the Mühlenbeckia feel really good?
The Mühlenbeckien like it airy and bright. Light shadows tolerate them better than the blazing midday sun. If they are too dark or too cool, then they grow only weakly or moderately. In dryness or frost, they lose their leaves. The soil should be well drained, which reduces the risk of waterlogging.
How do I take care of the Mühlenbeckia in the apartment?
Pour your mill Beckia regularly because the root ball must not dry out. The warmer the room where the mill Beckia is, the more water the plant will need. In winter, the water requirement is generally lower, but even then, the bale may not be completely dry. Therefore, pour regularly in smaller quantities.
From April to September you fertilize the Mühlenbeckia at least once a month with a commercially available liquid fertilizer. The ideal nutrient distribution can be achieved by mixing the fertilizer into the irrigation water. A good alternative, especially for forgetful gardeners, is to use a slow-release fertilizer in the spring.
Do I have to cut my mill Beckia?
The mill Beckia does not have to be cut regularly, but she does not mind a cut. So you can easily cut off shoots that disturb the overall picture or have just become too long. Even with a climbing aid, the Mühlenbeckia can easily be brought into shape.
