Cardamine parviflora aka Small Flower Bittercress

Small Flower Bittercress grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.

Small Flower Bittercress should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Small Flower Bittercress is very sensitive to dry soil. To ensure your Small Flowered Bittercress 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 Small Bittercress 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 Small Flower Bittercress with a well-draining, moisture-retaining soil, you can help to maximize its growth and keep it blooming.

Small Flower Bittercress thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Small Flowered Bittercress.

The Small Flower Bittercress 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.
