Collinsonia canadensis aka Northern Horsebalm

With its straightforward care requirements, Northern Horsebalm is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Northern Horsebalm should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Northern Horsebalm 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.

To ensure optimal growth, the Northern Horsebalm 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.

There is no verified data on the toxicity of this plant in the records of Ploi. If any person, including yourself, a family member, or a pet, consume plant material with an uncertain toxicity level, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare expert.

New growth will sprout from the top of the Northern Horsebalm as it grows vertically.

Northern Horsebalm’s native range is Eastern N. America - Ontario and Vermont to Florida, west to Wisconsin.
