How to grow chickweed

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: When breeding, use fertile sandy soil with good drainage and air permeability. You can mix leaf mold, garden soil and sandy soil. When caring for potted plants, you should also prepare pots with good drainage so that they can grow better in the later stages.

2. Temperature: It has strong cold resistance and can safely survive temperatures as low as minus 35 degrees Celsius, so there is no need to worry about winter. It is best to provide an environment between 5 and 25 degrees under normal circumstances. In summer, you should pay attention to cooling down and avoid being in a high temperature environment above 32 degrees for a long time.

3. Light: Ensure sufficient light when maintaining indoors. It is best to place it indoors to receive sunlight in spring and shade it in summer, but not in strong light. In winter, it should be placed in a well-lit place and receive sunlight all day.

4. Watering: It likes a dry environment, so you don’t need to water it too frequently, and the soil in the pot should not be too wet, otherwise it will affect the root breathing. In short, it is better to keep it dry than wet.

2. Breeding Methods

It is generally propagated by sowing and division. Sowing is carried out in spring and autumn when the temperature is between 15 and 20 degrees. The seeds will germinate half a month after planting. If you sow in autumn, you can enjoy the flowers in spring. The branching method is relatively simple. Just insert the branched part directly into the soil and it will soon take root.
