Pulmonaria saccharata aka Bethlehem Lungwort

Bethlehem Lungwort is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

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

When growing Bethlehem Lungwort, it is important to pay attention to the soil type you are using. This plant is very sensitive to dry soil and needs a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still be well-draining and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great options to provide the Bethlehem Lungwort with the nutrients and moisture it needs. The added organic matter will also help the soil retain water and prevent the Bethlehem Lungwort from drying out too quickly. Before planting, make sure to mix compost or manure into the soil for extra nutrients. Also, make sure to water the Bethlehem Lungwort regularly, making sure to keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. With the correct soil and watering regimen, the Bethlehem Lungwort will thrive and bring lots of beauty to your home.

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