lobelia

Lobelia gerardii 'Vedrariensis' should be lightly watered until the soil feels moist but not soggy. The frequency of watering will depend on the season, the temperature, exposure to sunlight, and air humidity. During the spring and summer season, water your Lobelia gerardii 'Vedrariensis' once a week until the soil feels moist. During the winter and autumn season, water your plant once every 10-14 days. Allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Make sure to water your Lobelia gerardii 'Vedrariensis' in the morning or late afternoon to allow the foliage to dry and minimize the risk of rot.

Lobelia gerardii 'Vedrariensis' should be grown in an area with plenty of sunlight for the best flowering results. Full sun to light shade is best. In areas with hot summers, some afternoon shade may be needed. If keeping the plant indoors, place it near a south-facing window with plenty of direct sunlight. If the plant is outside, it should receive at least 4 hours of direct sun per day, and more sunlight may be necessary depending on local conditions. During the cooler winter months, a sunny spot with some protection from the wind may be beneficial.

For the Lobelia gerardii 'Vedrariensis' plant species, pruning should be done in the early spring weeks following its flowering bloom. Cut away damaged or frosted stems to maintain a healthy appearance. It is also generally beneficial to selectively prune or deadhead old blooms to encourage new blooms and stimulating its health. Pruning should be kept to a minimum as lobelia does not require much after flowering, other than a regular watering schedule.
