Fagus grandifolia aka American Beech

Caring for American Beech is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

American Beech should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

American Beech 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.

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

The American Beech is characterized by its slow growth and doesn't need fertilization in addition to its potting soil. By renewing the soil in its pot once a year, it should have enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not from any fertilizers.

New growth will sprout from the top of the American Beech as it grows vertically.

American Beech’s native range is Eastern N. America - New Brunswick to Florida, west to Texas and Ontario.
