Saxifraga Tricolor isn't just visually stunning; it's also quite adaptable, making it a welcome addition to gardens, borders, terrariums, and containers.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. While it can tolerate moderate shade, the best color intensity occurs in brighter conditions. Avoid direct midday sun, especially in hot climates.

• Temperature: Thrives in moderate temperatures between 16-30°C

• Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter dormancy.

• Soil: Plant in well-draining, moist soil rich in organic matter. A potting mix for African violets or a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and sand works well.

• Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity (50-70%). Regularly misting the plant or using a pebble tray filled with water can help increase humidity.

• Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month.

• Propagation: Easily propagated by division or leaf cuttings. Runners with baby plantlets can also be separated and repotted.

Additional Tips:

• Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming.

• Prune lightly in spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves.

• Repot every 2-3 years when the plant outgrows its current container.

• Be mindful of potential pests like mealybugs and aphids. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.

With its enchanting looks and easy care requirements, Saxifraga Tricolor is sure to add a touch of magic to your home or garden. So bring this tricolor wonder home and witness its beauty unfold!
