Galax urceolata aka Beetleweed

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

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.

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 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.

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

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