How to Care for the Plant
Water
he spring gentian prefers soils that are not prone to waterlogging. The substrate should dry out only briefly, if at all. Even moisture creates the best growing conditions for Gentiana verna. It is clever to cover the substrate surface with a little bit of gravel or granules in order to keep the water better in the soil. Gentiana verna is sensitive to high levels of nitrogen in the soil.
Sunlight
sunny to partially shaded (no midday sun)
Soil
good air and water permeable, fresh low to very low nutrient levels weakly acidic wet meadows calcareous substrates
