Common names
Giant Ragweed, Horseweed, Buffalo WeedHow to care for Giant Ragweed
Water
Giant Ragweed should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Giant Ragweed loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
Lighting
To ensure optimal growth, the Giant Ragweed prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
Toxicity
No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.
Region of origin
Giant Ragweed’s native range is Eastern N. America - Quebec to Florida, west to Manitoba, Colorado and Mexico.
