How to care for White Hawkweed

Difficulty

White Hawkweed requires a bit more attention and knowledge to thrive, making it a suitable plant for those with some gardening experience.

Soil

The White Hawkweed is delicate when it comes to soil that is too damp, therefore, it is crucial to select a potting soil that has efficient drainage and doesn't hold an excessive amount of moisture. An ideal soil should consist of a substantial amount of perlite or vermiculite for proper drainage and some organic matter for nutrition. Mixing a few handfuls of perlite with commercially available cactus soil should produce the desired result.

Lighting

To ensure optimal growth, the White Hawkweed 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.

Dormancy

During the cold period, it is common for White Hawkweed to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more during this period.
