Galium odoratum aka Sweet Woodruff

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

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

Sweet Woodruff 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.

During the cold period, it is common for Sweet Woodruff to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.

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 Sweet Woodruff should be repotted when it has doubled in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing fresh potting soil with all the essential nutrients each year ensures the plant's well-being, eliminating the need for fertilizer. Remember, plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.

Sweet Woodruff’s native range is Northern and central Europe, including Britain, south and east to N. Africa and Siberia.
