Kneeling Angelica 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.

What is the sunlight requirement for Kneeling Angelica

Kneeling Angelica requires abundant, bright, and direct light to thrive. The best placement for this plant is within one foot of a window to ensure it receives enough light. If you live in an area with more extreme weather, such as hot summers or cold winters, you may need to adjust the placement of the plant accordingly. During hot summer months, it is important to place the plant away from full sun, as this can cause the leaves to yellow or burn. During cold winter months, it is best to move the plant closer to the window to take advantage of the extra light that can help it survive. By keeping an eye on the current weather in your area, you can make sure your ŌBa SenkyŪ is always in the right place to thrive.

How to fertilize Kneeling Angelica

Repotting the Kneeling Angelica should be done either when it has doubled in size or on a yearly basis, whichever occurs sooner.

Keep in mind that plants receive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
