Galax urceolata aka Beetleweed

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

Beetleweed’s native range is South-eastern N. America.

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

Beetleweed 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.

The Beetleweed 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.

Ploi lacks confirmed information on the toxicity of this plant. If you, a relative, or your pet accidentally consume plant material with unknown toxicity, it's best to consult a medical expert.

The Beetleweed is characterized by clumping growth, with new shoots emerging from the soil around the primary plant.
