Genista pilosa aka Hairy Greenweed

Hairy Greenweed presents a moderate level of care, which allows plant enthusiasts with some experience to expand their skills and knowledge.

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

Hairy Greenweed 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.

To ensure optimal growth, the Hairy Greenweed prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

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

The toxicity level of this plant has not been officially confirmed by Ploi. If there is a possibility of ingestion of plant material with an uncertain toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a medical professional.

The growth rate of Hairy Greenweed is slow and it doesn't necessitate additional fertilizing. By changing the soil in its pot annually, the plant should be provided with adequate nutrition. It is crucial to keep in mind that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizers.
