A note from PlantMom

Dodecatheon jeffreyanum subsp. jeffreyanum pokazuje dobru otpornost na bolesti i općenito nije lako obolijeva. Ipak, može biti osjetljiv na štetnike i bolesti prisutne u njegovoj okolini. Takve infekcije obično nisu ozbiljne. Što se njega tiče, ova biljka zahtijeva umjerenu održavanje. Potrebno ju je redovito orezivati kako bi zadržala dobar izgled i zdrav rast. Gnojidba također može pomoći u poticanju cvjetanja. Dodecatheon jeffreyanum subsp. jeffreyanum odgovara svima koji imaju vanjski prostor, poput vrta ili terase, i ne traži veliko iskustvo u njezi. Kod uzgoja u zatvorenom može zahtijevati više njege.
