New growth will sprout from the top of the Old Field Goldenrod as it grows vertically.

Old Field Goldenrod’s native range is Western N. America - western Montana to central Idaho, south to Colorado and Arizona.

Old Field Goldenrod should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Old Field Goldenrod 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 Old Field Goldenrod 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 Old Field Goldenrod should be repotted when it has doubled in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing fresh potting soil with all the essential nutrients each year ensures the plant's well-being, eliminating the need for fertilizer. Remember, plants derive their energy from the sun and not fertilizer.
