Taxonomy
Common names
Marsh Thistle, European Swamp ThistleHow to care for Marsh Thistle
Water
Marsh Thistle should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Marsh Thistle 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 Marsh Thistle 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
No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.
Region of origin
Marsh Thistle’s native range is Europe, including Britain, from Scandanavia south and west to N. Africa and W. Asia.
