How to care for Japanese Hawksbeard

Water

Japanese Hawksbeard should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

Japanese Hawksbeard 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.

Lighting
