Glycyrrhiza glabra aka Licorice

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

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

Licorice 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 Licorice prefers bright indirect 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.

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

Clumping is a defining characteristic of the Licorice, with new growth appearing from the soil surrounding the primary plant.

Licorice’s native range is Europe - Mediterranean.
