Calendar of Fringecup (Lithophragma glabrum)

Calendar

Fringecup normally blooms late spring until early summer across the United States. These flowers look best in May and June. Blooming happens once per year, lasting around 2-3 weeks. To make the blooming period longer, remove dead flowers often. Also, giving enough sunlight and well-drained soil can help blooming last longer. Fringecup's flowering time matters for pollination and making seeds. The plant blooms when pollinators appear, which helps reproduction work well. This timing is key for the plant to survive and have genetic diversity.

How to grow Fringecup (Lithophragma glabrum)

Watering

Fringecup plants have optimal growth with moderate summer watering every 7-10 days to keep soil moist but not soaked. Dormant season watering should be reduced to every 2-3 weeks. Check soil moisture by inserting finger 1-2 inches deep; water in morning if dry to allow drying during day, reducing fungal disease risk.

Soil and Fertilizer

Fringecup thrives in well-drained, moist soil rich in organic matter. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH range of 5.5 to 7.0. In early spring, apply a balanced fertilizer at a rate of 1 pound per 100 square feet. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can damage plants. Do not fertilize late in summer to prevent frost damage to new growth.

Sunlight and Place

Fringecup does well in some to full shade. The reason is regions without much direct sun work for it. It is reasonably cold tolerant. Cooler temperatures are fine but very cold may be an issue. It likes cooler areas and can handle heat a bit. However prolonged high heat could cause problems. 60-75°F is the best temperature range for Fringecup. That makes it suitable for moderate climates. In summer, give it adequate shade to avoid burning. In winter, protect it from frost. Fringecup should go where there is blotchy sunlight or filtered light. It can take medium sunlight but may suffer with intense, direct sun. The plant benefits from 4-6 hours of sun per day. That strikes a balance between light and shade.

Planting and Harvest

Fringecup is best potted in well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging, promoting healthy root growth. When planting, gently loosen the roots before placing them in the pot, covering them with soil and watering thoroughly. If issues like yellowing leaves occur, check for bugs, change watering, or move the plant's place.

Propagation

Fringecup can be multiplied through seeds, division, or cuttings. Seeds can be planted in a well-draining soil mixture in early spring. For division, separate the plant into parts with roots connected and replant them. To spread through cuttings, take stem pieces in spring or summer and put them in a rooting hormone before planting. Leaf pieces can also be used by taking healthy leaves, putting them in a soil mixture, and keeping them moist until roots form. To make sure successful spreading, it is suggested to use a mix of these ways to raise the chances of success and to produce multiple new plants.

Pests and Diseases

Fringecup is susceptible to fungal diseases such as powdery mildew, which manifests as a white powdery substance on leaves, inhibiting photosynthesis. This pathology thrives in humid conditions and can be prevented by ensuring proper air circulation around the plant. A common pest is small insects that suck sap from the plant, causing leaves to curl and wither. To prevent infestations, introducing natural predators like ladybugs can be effective. Moreover, Fringecup can also be affected by root fungal infection, caused by overwatering or poorly drained soil, leading to wilting and yellowing of leaves. To prevent root fungal infection, it is crucial to plant Fringecup in well-draining soil and avoid overwatering. Regularly inspecting the plant for signs of pests and diseases, maintaining proper plant hygiene, and providing optimal growing conditions can help in preventing these issues.
