How to keep Verbascum Glandulosum.
Light
Aaron's Rod does best with abundant light throughout the day. It tolerates moderate shade, but extended periods of shading can lead to reduced growth or pale leaves. Native to bright, sunlit areas, this species is adapted to the strength and duration of sunlight typical of open locations. Both excessive and insufficient sunlight can impair its optimal growth.
Temperature
Aaron's Rod originates from habitats with temperatures between 68 and 95 °F (20 to 35 ℃). It grows best under these moderate conditions and prefers that range. In colder climates, consider using heat mats during the winter months.
Fertilizer
Aaron's Rod requires consistent fertilization in order to encourage blooming, but excessive amounts are not beneficial. Frequent, light quantities of fertilizer should be applied throughout its entire lifespan, particularly during periods of substantial growth and when it is producing flowers. You should continue feeding your Aaron's Rod until it ceases to produce blooms.
