Dicentra eximia aka Turkey Corn

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

Turkey Corn grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.

Turkey Corn should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Turkey Corn 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.

Repotting the Turkey Corn is necessary either when it has doubled in size or once every year, whichever happens first. With fresh potting soil replenished annually, the plant will receive all the necessary nutrients, rendering the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that the source of a plant's energy is the sun, not fertilizer.

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

During the wintertime, it's common for Turkey Corn to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.
