How to care for Gray Rockcress

Difficulty

Gray Rockcress is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

Water

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

Soil

Gray Rockcress 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 Gray Rockcress prefers bright diffused 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.
