How to care for White Burnet

Water

White Burnet should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

When growing White Burnet, 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 Canadian Burnet with the nutrients and moisture it needs. The added organic matter will also help the soil retain water and prevent the White Burnet 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 White Burnet regularly, making sure to keep the soil evenly moist but never soggy. With the correct soil and watering regimen, the White Burnet will thrive and bring lots of beauty to your home.

Lighting

To ensure optimal growth, the White Burnet 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.
