Soil
Pacific Waterleaf is very sensitive to dry soil. To ensure your Hydrophyllum Tenuipes Viride is thriving and blooming, choose a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still allow for adequate drainage and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great soil additives that will help to retain moisture and provide your Hydrophyllum Tenuipes Viride with the nutrients it needs for healthy growth. Make sure to mix these soil additives into the potting soil before planting and water the soil thoroughly. By providing your Pacific Waterleaf with a well-draining, moisture-retaining soil, you can help to maximize its growth and keep it blooming.
