Phyllanthus urinaria aka Chamber Bitter

Even if you don't have a green thumb, you can successfully care for Chamber Bitter due to its easy-going nature.

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

To ensure optimal growth, the Chamber Bitter 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 Chamber Bitter to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.

No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.

Once the Chamber Bitter has doubled in size or after a year has passed, it should be moved to a new pot. By replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the vital nutrients, your plant will receive all the sustenance it needs, negating the requirement for fertilizer. It's important to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

Chamber Bitter grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.
