brompton stock

Brompton stock (Matthiola incana) should be watered deeply and infrequently. During the growing season, water the plants thoroughly once or twice a week until water runs freely from the bottom of the pot. Reduce watering during the winter months, only giving an occasional drink if the soil feels dry. Providing too much water can lead to plant stress and death, so it is important to water only when needed.

Brompton Stock (Matthiola incana) is an annual flowering plant that grows best with full sun exposure. The amount and timing of sunlight needed for optimal growth and blooming will depend on the climate in which it is grown. In areas with hot summers and long days, Brompton Stock may do best with 8-10 hours of direct sunlight per day. In temperate climates, 6-8 hours of direct sunlight is usually adequate. When grown in cooler climates, or in shade, blooming may be significantly reduced.

Brompton stock (Matthiola incana) should be pruned regularly in spring and early summer. It is best to prune in late May or early June when the plant is more mature. To prune, remove any dead or diseased wood, as well as any crossing or rubbing stems that may cause damage in the future. Also, prune away any stems that are growing out of shape or have too many of the same buds. If the plant is growing large and has many stems, then consider cutting back some of the stems by a third to encourage better branching and flowering. If the plant is overcrowded then thin out some of the overcrowded sections to allow better air circulation, light penetration, and to promote new growth. It is best to make the cuts at a 45 degree angle to prevent water accumulation and fungal infection.
