How difficult is it to take care of Spring Speedwell

What are the water needs for Spring Speedwell
Spring Speedwell should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
What is the right soil for Spring Speedwell
Spring Speedwell 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.
What is the sunlight requirement for Spring Speedwell
To ensure optimal growth, the Spring Speedwell 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.
How to fertilize Spring Speedwell
The Spring Speedwell should be repotted either when it doubles in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing new potting soil with all the vital nutrients annually is enough to support the growth of the plant, and thus, there is no need for fertilizer. Remember that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
