Rumex maritimus aka Maritime Dock

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

Maritime Dock should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Maritime Dock 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 Maritime Dock 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.

The toxicity level of this plant has not been officially confirmed by Ploi. If there is a possibility of ingestion of plant material with an uncertain toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is advisable to seek the assistance of a medical professional.

Repotting the Maritime Dock is necessary either when it has doubled in size or once every year, whichever happens first. With fresh potting soil replenished annually, the plant will receive all the necessary nutrients, rendering the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that the source of a plant's energy is the sun, not fertilizer.

Maritime Dock grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.

Maritime Dock’s native range is Europe, including Britain, from Scandanavia south and east to Spain and the Caucasus.
