Smearwort, Round Leaved BirthwortHow to care for Smearwort
Water
Smearwort should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Smearwort 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 Smearwort 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
Ploi lacks confirmed information on the toxicity of this plant. If you, a relative, or your pet accidentally consume plant material with unknown toxicity, it's best to consult a medical expert.
Region of origin
Smearwort’s native range is Europe - Mediterranean. Occasionally naturalized in Britain[17].
