Sidalcea malviflora aka Dwarf Checkerbloom

With a bit of knowledge and dedication, you can successfully care for Dwarf Checkerbloom, making it a rewarding choice for those seeking a moderate challenge.

Dwarf Checkerbloom should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

To ensure optimal growth, the Dwarf Checkerbloom 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.

During the wintertime, it is common for Dwarf Checkerbloom plants to go dormant and their growth rate may slow down. Therefore, the amount of waterings should be spaced out more.

No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.

Dwarf Checkerbloom grows vertically and new growth emerges from the top of the plant.

Dwarf Checkerbloom’s native range is South-western N. America - Oregon to Baja California.
