Asclepias lanceolata aka Fewflower Milkweed

Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Fewflower Milkweed due to its easy-going nature.

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

Fewflower Milkweed is very sensitive to dry soil. To ensure your Fewflower Milkweed is thriving and blooming, choose a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still allow for adequate drainage and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great soil additives that will help to retain moisture and provide your Fewflower Milkweed with the nutrients it needs for healthy growth. Make sure to mix these soil additives into the potting soil before planting and water the soil thoroughly. By providing your Fewflower Milkweed with a well-draining, moisture-retaining soil, you can help to maximize its growth and keep it blooming.

To ensure optimal growth, the Fewflower Milkweed 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.

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

The Fewflower Milkweed 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.

Fewflower Milkweed grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.

Fewflower Milkweed’s native range is Eastern N. America - New Jersey to Florida and Texas.
