Quercus robur aka Common Oak

Caring for Common Oak is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Common Oak’s native range is Europe, including Britain, from Scandanavia south and east to Spain, the Urals and Crimea.

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

Common 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 Common 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.

The Common Oak is characterized by its slow growth and doesn't need fertilization in addition to its potting soil. By renewing the soil in its pot once a year, it should have enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not from any fertilizers.

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