Quercus petraea aka Sessile Oak

With its straightforward care requirements, Sessile Oak is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

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

Sessile Oak 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 Sessile Oak 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.

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

The Sessile Oak is known for its slow growth and doesn't require fertilizing beyond its potting soil. Replacing the soil in its pot once a year should offer it sufficient nutrition. It's essential to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not from fertilizers.

Sessile Oak’s native range is Europe, including Britain, from Norway south and east to Spain, S.W. Russia and Greece.
