How to care for Thimbleweed

Difficulty

Caring for Thimbleweed is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Water

Thimbleweed should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Thimbleweed 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.

Toxicity

Thimbleweed is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

Fertilizer

The Thimbleweed grows at a slow pace and doesn't require any supplementary fertilizers. By renewing its potting soil once a year, it should receive enough nourishment. Remember, plants obtain their energy from sunlight, not fertilizers.

Growth-pattern

New growth will sprout from the top of the Thimbleweed as it grows vertically.

Region of origin

Thimbleweed’s native range is Central and Eastern N. America - Nova Scotia to South Carolina, Kansas, Alberta and Arkansas.
